SportsStore: Administration

Abstract

In this chapter, I continue to build the SportsStore application in order to give the site administrator a way to manage orders and products. In this chapter, I use Blazor to create administration features. Blazor is a new addition to ASP.NET Core, and it combines client-side JavaScript code with server-side code executed by ASP.NET Core, connected by a persistent HTTP connection. I describe Blazor in detail in Chapters 32–35, but it is important to understand that the Blazor model is not suited to all projects. (I use Blazor Server in this chapter, which is a supported part of the ASP.NET Core platform. There is also Blazor WebAssembly, which is, at the time of writing, experimental and runs entirely in the browser. I describe Blazor WebAssembly in Chapter 36.)
