Create a Blazor Web App

Before You Start — Gather Requirements

If the user's request doesn't make the following clear, ask before scaffolding:

1. What does the app do? List the main screens/features (e.g., "product catalog with search and shopping cart").
2. What kind of interactivity is needed? Displaying data and forms? Real-time updates? Offline support? Rich drag-and-drop UI?
3. Deployment environment? Internet-facing? Intranet? Mobile users on slow connections?
4. Authentication needed? Anonymous? Individual accounts? Organizational (Azure AD)?

Pick the Right Interactivity Level

Blazor render modes are a progression scale. Start at the simplest level that satisfies the requirements and only move up when there's a concrete reason.
