Blazorise Quick Start Guide

Quickly install Blazorise, one of the world's most popular Blazor UI framework.

Blazorise is designed to work independently of CSS frameworks. Each of the supported CSS framework is defined by a different NuGet package for Blazorise. Please see the integration guide to find a list of supported frameworks and how to use them.

Note: Before continuing please make sure that you already have a Blazor project created. If not please go to the official Blazor website and learn how to create one.

Note: This documentation assumes you know the basics of Blazor. if you’re not comfortable with it yet, it’s probably not the best idea to learn from here as your first step — learn the basics, then come back. Blazor website is the best source for you to start.

The setup process is similar for all of the supported CSS frameworks, you will just replace the Bootstrap sources with the ones you need.

Install Packages

First step is to install a Bootstrap 5 provider for Blazorise:

Install-Package Blazorise.Bootstrap5

You also need to install the icon package:

Install-Package Blazorise.Icons.FontAwesome

Add Static Files

Modify your project's HTML template to include the necessary CSS files. The files you add depend on whether you're working with a WebAssembly or Server project:

For WebAssembly, update index.html.
For Server, update _Layout.cshtml or _Host.cshtml.
For .NET 8, update App.razor.

Add these lines inside the <head> section:

<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" integrity="sha384-QWTKZyjpPEjISv5WaRU9OFeRpok6YctnYmDr5pNlyT2bRjXh0JMhjY6hW+ALEwIH" crossorigin="anonymous">
<link href="_content/Blazorise.Icons.FontAwesome/v6/css/all.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<link href="_content/Blazorise/blazorise.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="_content/Blazorise.Bootstrap5/blazorise.bootstrap5.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Note: When Blazor project is created it will also include it’s own Bootstrap and FontAwesome files that can sometime be of older versions. To ensure we’re using the appropriate bootstrap and FontAwesome files, you need remove them or replace them with the links from above. If you forget to remove them it’s possible that some components will not work as expected.

Add Imports

In your main _Imports.razor add:

@using Blazorise

Register Services

Add the following lines to the relevant sections of Program.cs.

using Blazorise;
using Blazorise.Bootstrap5;
using Blazorise.Icons.FontAwesome;

builder.Services
    .AddBlazorise( options =>
    {
        options.Immediate = true;
    } )
    .AddBootstrap5Providers()
    .AddFontAwesomeIcons();
