Solution

  • In the host project add a project reference to the WebAssembly application.

    In the program.cs of the Host project BlazorApp38.AppHost add. enter image description here Select the WebAssembly project.

    enter image description here

    The source generator should then kick in. Projects.BlazorApp38 should be defined.

    In program.cs cs simply add

    builder.AddProject<Projects.BlazorApp38>("webapp");

    var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
builder.AddProject<Projects.BlazorApp38>("webapp");
builder.Build().Run();

    It should look like this.

    Remember this app will be running in the clients browser..

    I recommend using a hosted app with something like yarp to proxy to the internal api's of the distributed app, that's the point of using a framework like Aspire right?. The client can make secure calls to its host which uses a reverse proxy to resolve the internal aspire endpoint(s).
