Telerik setup in a Blazor Web App .NET 8 Project

[Walter]

Does anyone know how to setup Telerik in a Blazor Web App .NET 8 Project? I could not find any documentation here.

[Ryan]

I would like to see that also.

Hi Ryan,
if it helps, I ended up following the instructions for Web Assembly at https://docs.telerik.com/blazor-ui/getting-started/client-blazor.
The only difference is that instead of updating wwwroot/index.html I updated App.razor file in the Client project.
I am using the Trial nuget package at the moment. But yes, you would expect at two weeks from official release of Net 8 some kind of documentation from Telerik.

Hello Walter and Ryan,

As part of our 5.0.0 release (due mid-November) we will introduce support for .NET 8 and the WebApp template. When the 5.0.0 release is live you will be able to create a blank WebApp template where the Telerik UI for Blazor is setup via our Visual Studio Extensions. Also, we will provide documentation that will explain how to add Telerik UI for Blazor to an Existing WebApp.

Thanks Svetoslav ,

Now that .net 8 is available do you how long until Telerik Blazor 5.0.0 will be released?

Hello Ryan, 

The Telerik UI for Blazor 5.0.0 has been live since the 15th of November, you can now use .NET 8 with Telerik UI for Blazor components. Here is the relevant documentation article for adding Telerik UI for Blazor to the WebApp application.

In step 3 of the documentation (https://docs.telerik.com/blazor-ui/getting-started/web-app), it mentions to install the Nuget package in the server project.  Later on, step 4.4 mentions to register the Blazor service on both the server and client projects if the interactive render modes is either WebAssembly or Auto.  Does it mean that if the interactive render modes is either WebAssembly or Auto, then the Nuget package needs to be installed on both projects also?

Hello Stephen,

Yes, your assumption is correct. Generally, we encourage you to add the Telerik UI for Blazor package globally, to all project.
