Orchard Core Blazor Sample

This is a sample Orchard Core CMS project to demonstrate Orchard Core modules using server-side Blazor components. The idea is to be able to build a modularized CMS website using server-side Blazor. If you are planning to build a decoupled CMS websites or a Blazor-only SPA then another approach might be required.

Please note, that implementing a workaround was required to make Blazor static contents (e.g. blazor.server.js) accessible. See: https://github.com/OrchardCMS/OrchardCore/issues/2966#issuecomment-555506779

How to use this sample

1. Clone the repository, restore and build. Please note that the solution uses the latest Orchard Core dev build which means that the referenced NuGet packages won't be available after some time. To solve this issue please update the Orchard Core package versions to the latest (which also means that something might broke). After the next major version is released this project should be upgraded as well to use a stable version.
2. Set up the Orchard Core website using the Blazor Sample recipe. You can use any recipe but make sure to enable the OrchardCoreBlazorSample.Theme theme and the OrchardCoreBlazorSample.Module1 and OrchardCoreBlazorSample.Module2 modules.
3. You can test Blazor components under the /test/module1 and /test/module2 URLs.
