Blazor Server Cookie Auth Demo

This project demonstrates how one might implement Cookie Authentication using Blazor server.

Running the app

Prerequisites:

This sample application is built to use SQL Server. Additionally, it uses EF Core, so you'll need the ef core tools installed. You can do that by running the following in your terminal:

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef

Setting up:

First start by cloning this repo:

git clone git@github.com:brooklynDev/BlazorServerCookieAuthDemo.git

Then, navigate to {application_root}/BlazorServerAuthDemo/BlazorServerAuthDemo.Web and create a new file called appsettings.local.json and paste the following bit of json:

{
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "DefaultConnection": "{your sql server connection string goes here};"
  }
}

Then, navigate to {application_root}/BlazorServerAuthDemo/BlazorServerAuthDemo.Data and run the following:

dotnet ef database update

This will create the database and run the migrations using EF.

Once that's done, navigate back to {application_root}/BlazorServerAuthDemo/BlazorServerAuthDemo.Web and run:

dotnet run

This will launch the application at https://localhost:5001
