About Blazor Server Implementation

This implementation demonstrates Blazor Server, which runs C# components on the server and updates the UI in real-time over a SignalR WebSocket connection. No JavaScript is required for CRUD logic.

Blazor Server Advantages

  • Full C# — no JavaScript needed for UI logic
  • Direct access to server-side services (no HTTP API round-trip)
  • Thin client — minimal download, fast initial load
  • Share models and validation between server and UI

Considerations

  • Requires persistent WebSocket connection (SignalR)
  • Every UI interaction is a server round-trip
  • Server memory usage scales with connected users
  • No offline capability

Technical Details

Blazor Server

Components execute on the server. UI updates are sent to the browser via SignalR WebSocket in real-time.

Direct DI

Injects IEmployeeService directly — no HTTP API calls needed. Data access happens server-side.

SignalR

Built-in SignalR hub handles all client-server communication. No manual WebSocket management.
