Configure Blazor application with Syncfusion

The Syncfusion Blazor snippet simply inserts the code into the razor file. You must configure the Blazor application with Syncfusion by installing the Syncfusion Blazor NuGet package, namespace, themes, and registering the Syncfusion Blazor Service. To configure, follow the steps below:

  1. Open the Blazor application file and manually add the required Syncfusion Blazor individual NuGet package(s) for the Syncfusion Blazor components as a package reference. Refer to this section to learn about the advantages of the individual NuGet packages. This NuGet package will be automatically restored when building the application.

    NuGet Package

    Starting with Volume 4, 2020 (v18.4.0.30) release, Syncfusion provides individual NuGet packages for our Syncfusion Blazor components. We highly recommend this new standard for your Blazor production applications.

  2. To render the Syncfusion components in your application, open the ~/_Imports.razor file and add the required Syncfusion Blazor namespace entries.

    Namespace

  3. Add the Syncfusion Blazor theme in the <head> element of the ~/Pages/_Host.html page for server application and ~/wwwroot/index.html page for a client application.

    Themes

  4. Open the ~/Startup.cs file for server application and the ~/Program.cs file for client application then register the Syncfusion Blazor Service.

  5. If you installed the trial setup or NuGet packages from nuget.org you must register the Syncfusion license key to your application since Syncfusion introduced the licensing system from 2018 Volume 2 (v16.2.0.41) Essential Studio release. Navigate to the help topic to generate and register the Syncfusion license key to your application. Refer to this blog post for understanding the licensing changes introduced in Essential Studio.
