Scaffolding failing for identity in blazor

Question

When I try to add identity thru the cli cause the tooling is broken form the gui I get this error. I am using Blazor / Client Server. I persume I would scaffold my identity pages to the client.

Inference.targets(188,5): error NETSDK1032: The RuntimeIdentifier platform 'browser-wasm' and the PlatformTarget 'x64'
must be compatible.

I am running the scaffolding via this method

dotnet aspnet-codegenerator identity

As when I run it from the GuI it throws an error.

Answer 1

Blazor Client (WASM) projects do not support database scaffolding as the browser does not have database support.

A blazor client would typically use oauth, and the login server project would be the one to support identity database scaffolding. That is the clamor client would call a login server and get a JWT token, that it passed as a bearer token when calling a webapi.

Note. If you used cookie authentication, the the host of the index.html static file would implement cookie authentication.

Answer 2

Blazor client apps are a static web site. The blazor code can use HttpClient to call a login service to get a token (or use an iframe and host an open api login page).

to have a login server you create a separate asp.net core project to be the login server. you add this to the solution. as the blazor project is a static website, the server project can host, instead of a separate webserver.

you can manually deploy the blazor project to the server project wwwroot or use the new combined project (which nests the blazor project in the server project).
