Install Packages

First step is to install a Bootstrap 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?v=1.8.0.0" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="_content/Blazorise.Bootstrap5/blazorise.bootstrap5.css?v=1.8.0.0" 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 to 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. Also, the links provided here might not always be the most up to date. You may update your sources, but do take note, that Blazorise has been tested with the versions listed here.

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();
