Use Blazor for generating static serverless website (without .NET server)

Question

I want to create a website and I appreciate the framework Blazor. Usually Blazor is used in .NET with server-side .NET. I would like to build a website that I can host using Github Pages.

Therefore I would like to be able to compile the C# and Razor code in a bundle of web files: HTML, JS, WASM and CSS. I understand I'm limited to only client-side Blazor. Routing can be a nice feature, but a single page (and URL) is also an option.

Is this possible? How do I get started with my project? And how do I go from there?

Actually both could do. Now I've managed to do it using serverless WASM. But because the website will be mostly static, an optimalization could be to make it a static HTML site. — PizzaOverflow

Yes, that is possible.

You start with a "Blazor WebAssembly standalone" project and then push it to a Github repository. Very easy with the "Git changes" tab in VS.

I think that you can only use the free Github Pages for a public repository.

Then you need to set up a pipeline (Github action), there are many walkthroughs available on the net.

I found out I didn't have a good understanding of BlazorWASM. The BlazorWASM template of the dotnet tool allows "publishing". This process results in an output with only web files (.HTML, .CSS, .JS, .WASM and browser .DLLs). I can run it in my browser without starting .NET.

This is the procedure I used:

Execute command dotnet new blazorwasm -n my-project
Write code
Execute command dotnet publish --configuration RELEASE
Open folder bin/Release/net7.0/publish/wwwroot
Publish to GitHub by adding the contents to a git repo and push it to the GitHub remote repo.
