Call REST API from ASP NET Core Blazor

[@Alex-bc3tt]

I needed this so much, you saved me from a deadline. Thank you So Much

[@jayantlalguru6780]

Here is a small piece of code to call the API. This is generic so that we don't need to write the code again and again. //THE INTERFACE public interface IApiHandler { Task GetAsync(string url); } //THE IMPLEMENTATION TO CALL THE API public class ApiHandler : IApiHandler { private readonly HttpClient _httpClient; public ApiHandler(HttpClient httpClient) { _httpClient = httpClient; } public async Task GetAsync(string url) { return await _httpClient.GetJsonAsync(url); } //TODO //CODE FOR POST, PUT, DELETE CAN BE ADDED } //THE STARTUP CLASS services.AddHttpClient(client => { client.BaseAddress = new Uri("localhost:44336/"); //ADD YOUR BASE URL INSIDE THE BRACKET }); //CALLING THE SERVICE(ApiHandler) public class EmployeeListBase : ComponentBase { [Inject] private IApiHandler _apiHandler { get; set; } public IEnumerable Employees { get; set; } protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync() { Employees = await _apiHandler.GetAsync("api/Employees/GetEmployees"); } }

Thanks a lot for all your great tutorials. about this video - in 3:20 you are talking about Startup.cs file. but in web assembly project, there is just Program.cs file.

[@Nynxxx]

I am not sure if you needed anything clarified, but he did mention that this video series is just going to cover Blazor Server and not Blazor WASM.

[@SupunNimantha]

same issue . have you resolved this ?

[@ernanmaisels]

@@SupunNimantha Yes. just use the program.cs file and insert all your services on Main method. Good luck!

[@SupunNimantha]

@@ernanmaisels yeah that worked. I had some services

And what about the localhost url u do something?

a great video! thanks

[@aikidoshi007]

Thanks Venkat, great job. I've been doing my head in trying to get this very thing working and here it all is in one tidy package. When the product is deployed the hard-coded base URL will not work, how would you set that up so it can be different and automatically set in each deployment environment please?

[@AniketRamekar]

It depends based on how secure you want things to be. You can use appsettings.{Environment}.json files (link1), or go all out with app secrets (link2) link1:docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/environments?view=aspnetcore-3.1 link2:docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/app-secrets?view=aspnetcore-3.1&tabs=windows

Thank you so much. I have a question. what is the alternatives for Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components namespace since this is in preview

[@kalapalababurao1788]

Microsoft.AspNetCore.Blazor.HttpClient NuGet package is not available to download, however I searched in google and downloaded that package of version 3.2.0-preview3.20168.3 depricated. it is working to extract data from database using EFC and using API , but it is not working for Blazor app EmployeeListDetails :Shall you please provide that NuGet package.

[@keshavprasad]

I am getting the same problem. Did you find any alternate solution for this?

[@nichodemusomedo4]

Thank you. I would like to let you know that while testing on creating a new employee, I happened to find a false error of email address already exists for a new client and new email address, I ran the application in debug mode and postman for this very lesson. It would be nice to give an explanation as to why that happened as I was expecting to commit the new employee without any problem.

[@jamaissans2377]

Thank you Mr.

[@moawadabdelbasset9896]

thanks for you how can i call the REST API in xamarin forms

[@AniketRamekar]

use HttpClient, refer: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/data-cloud/web-services/rest

[@rainron2664]

Sir may i ask, why you are using Httpclientfactory instead of signalr to connect to the API? Like what the browser does to connect to blazor server? thank you in advance.😊😊

[@HRJosef]

Is somewhere avaiable source code? I missed something and i would like to compare?

[@sabrinadiaf3230]

please sir what do you think about using Refit and create an SDK to consume the API?

[@EngDuraid]

Thank you but i tried to use a generic service instead (ApiService) which implement (IApiService) then i tried to register it the same way you did but that didn't work can you please tell me a hint how to achieve this please.

Can we directly call database information into the Blazor App without any Api

[@Nynxxx]

You can, but it makes your app not scalable assuming that at some point you may want to switch to Blazor WASM. EDIT: Also, creating an API to call from can make it easier to implement new apps that aren't able to talk directly to the database, such as a mobile app that also wants to use the database, I am using xamarin to make an app, and we must have an API since it is not able to directly access the database.
