To determine whether an application is built using Blazor Client or Blazor Server, you can look for certain characteristics or examine the application's code and configuration. Here are a few ways to identify whether an application is Blazor Client or Blazor Server:
Application Structure: Blazor Client applications are typically standalone applications that run entirely on the client-side, while Blazor Server applications require a server to host the application logic. If the application is self-contained and doesn't rely on a separate server for hosting, it is likely a Blazor Client application.
Network Traffic: Monitor the network traffic between the client and server while interacting with the application. In a Blazor Server application, you'll notice frequent network requests and updates as the UI is rendered on the server and then sent to the client. On the other hand, Blazor Client applications have minimal network traffic after the initial application load since the UI rendering is handled entirely on the client-side.
Source Code and Project Structure: If you have access to the source code or project structure, you can identify the type of Blazor application by looking for specific files or configurations. For Blazor Server applications, you'll typically find components inheriting from
ComponentBase
and the presence of a server project or a reference toMicrosoft.AspNetCore.Components.Server
package. Blazor Client applications often have components inheriting fromComponentBase
and references toMicrosoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly
package.Application Startup: In a Blazor Server application, the startup class (e.g.,
Startup.cs
) typically includes services such as routing configuration, authorization, and signalR setup. Blazor Client applications may have a similar startup class but will also include the initialization of the Blazor WebAssembly runtime and routing configurations specific to the client-side.Deployment Configuration: The deployment process can also provide clues about the type of Blazor application. Blazor Server applications are typically deployed as server-side projects on hosting platforms, such as ASP.NET Core web servers. Blazor Client applications, on the other hand, are typically deployed as static files on a web server or deployed to a hosting platform that supports serving Blazor WebAssembly applications.
By considering these factors and examining the application's structure, code, network behavior, and deployment configuration, you should be able to determine whether it is a Blazor Server or Blazor Client application.
