In my previous post we discussed how to build your own AJAX navigation library.
One limitation we identified was that the implementation was tightly coupled to petite-vue, while not all of my projects will use AJAX navigation. To address this, we should extract the shared functionality into a separate library.

Before Enhanced Navigation was added to ASP.NET Core Blazor in .NET 8, I built a similar concept that I called AJAX Navigation.
My original version was not especially clean. It relied on overriding the built-in JavaScript event handling logic to ensure my form submission and anchor click handlers were registered last. That allowed the default handlers to prevent my handler from running.
In this post we will discuss how to write your own Enhanced/AJAX Navigation library.

Back/forward navigation can expose subtle interactions between frontend state and server-side caching policies. This is particularly noticeable when using petite-vue (and likely applies in the same way to Alpine.js) together with a form that has anti-forgery enabled in ASP.NET Core.

If you use floating versions in your .csproj (e.g., Version="1.*"), you may have seen an issue where you restore the latest version via the CLI, but as soon as you click Build in Visual Studio, it reverts to an older version.

In an ASP.NET Core MVC application, you can not only render Razor components within views using the component tag helper, but also return Razor components directly from MVC actions.
In this post, we’ll walk through an example of returning a Razor component from an MVC action and address the issues that come up along the way.

In my previous post on executing scripts in an ASP.NET Core MVC app with Blazor enhanced navigation, you had to use a <page-script> tag to define your custom scripts. But what if you don’t want to manually convert every script on your site?
Here’s a way to automatically handle this by using a MutationObserver and reloading <script> tags whenever they appear in the DOM.

In my previous post, we looked at enabling Blazor-enhanced navigation in an ASP.NET Core MVC app. One challenge you’ll quickly run into is executing page-specific scripts after navigation updates.
One solution is to use a custom web component to manage script lifecycle events. This approach is explained in the official docs, but here I’ll walk you through how to apply it in an MVC project.

If you want to enable Blazor-enhanced navigation in your ASP.NET Core MVC or Razor Pages app, there are a few setup steps required. This allows navigation between pages to feel smoother, similar to a single-page app, without unnecessary full page reloads.

The following article explains two approaches to installing Magento on Windows with Docker. The first method is simpler to understand but runs extremely slowly, therefore it is recommended to use method 2.
For both methods you should first make sure you have Docker Desktop (with WSL 2) installed. Also you should setup your local domain by adding "127.0.0.1 magento.test" to your hosts file.
