Purpose

Blazor layouts, MudBlazor components, and data-driven pages (e.g. Amazon-style price tracking with CSV and charts).

GitHub Pages

Deployed as a static Blazor WebAssembly site via .github/workflows/deploy-gh-pages.yml.

• Setup: See docs/DEPLOY_ON_GH_PAGES.md for one-time config and how the workflow works.

Quickstart (CLI)

Prerequisites: .NET SDK (dotnet --version).

From the project root:

dotnet restore
dotnet build
dotnet watch run

Open http://localhost:5049 (or the URL in the console). Stop with Ctrl+C.

Grand Exchange (GE) / Backend

Optional local backend for RuneScape Grand Exchange price data. The Blazor app calls the Api; the Api calls the GE (and optionally wiki) and caches responses as JSON on disk. GE features only work when both are running locally; the GitHub Pages site has no backend.

  BlazorWasm -->|HTTP| Backend
  Backend -->|HTTP| GE
  Backend -->|read/write| JSON

Loading

• Blazor: Uses a named HttpClient ("GeApi") to call the backend at http://localhost:5041.
• Api: ASP.NET Core minimal API; proxies GE catalogue, item detail, and graph endpoints; caches under Api/Data/ as JSON.

Run with GE

1. Start the Blazor app: dotnet watch run (from project root).
2. In a second terminal, start the Api: cd Api && dotnet run (listens on http://localhost:5041).

Then use GE price-tracking features in the app.
