How can a Blazor server side app redirect from http://hostname to http://hostname/route1 on load?

Question

For several of the sites I have built using MVC/TypeScript or MVC/Angular I have needed to redirect the user immediately from http://hostname to http://hostname/route1. I am trying to figure out how to implement the same functionality with Blazor Server Side.

I am aware that this can be done using the IIS URL Rewrite engine, however, it has not been determined if the application will be hosted under IIS, self-hosted on Windows, or hosted on Linux.

Is this possible? If so, what is the best practice approach for this implementation?

Thanks

Answer 1

You can do a redirect on OnInitialize on your root page (maybe index.razor )

@page "/"
@inject NavigationManager MyNavigationManager
@code
{
    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        MyNavigationManager.NavigateTo("route1");
    }
}
