Add the dashboard

The Blazor Server dashboard is a pure consumer of UKBatch.Api over HTTP/SignalR. In embedded mode you point it at your own loopback /api.

using UKBatch.Api;
using UKBatch.AspNetCore;
using UKBatch.Dashboard;
using UKBatch.Dashboard.Configuration;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.AddUKBatchAspNetCore(b => b.AddJob<HelloJob>());
builder.Services.AddUKBatchApi();

builder.Services.AddUKBatchDashboard(opts =>
{
    opts.Services.Add(new UKBatchServiceDescriptor
    {
        Name = "self",
        BaseUrl = new Uri("http://localhost:5050/api/"),
        DisplayName = "Local",
    });
});
builder.Services.AddAntiforgery();

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseAntiforgery();                  // REQUIRED for Razor Components — see Gotchas
app.MapGroup("/api").MapUKBatchApi();  // REST + SignalR hub at /api/hubs/jobs
app.MapUKBatchDashboard();             // UI at /dashboard
app.MapStaticAssets();                 // serves Blazor framework assets (.NET 9+; on .NET 8 use app.UseStaticFiles())

app.Run();

Open http://localhost:5050/dashboard. The Jobs, Batches, Executions, and Approvals pages appear immediately.

Three things that bite first-timers

• app.UseAntiforgery() is required when mapping the dashboard, or /dashboard returns HTTP 500.
• On .NET 10, the host csproj needs <RequiresAspNetWebAssets>true</RequiresAspNetWebAssets> or the UI renders as static HTML with dead buttons.
• A service BaseUrl is auto-normalized to a trailing slash, so …/api and …/api/ behave identically.

All three are explained in Gotchas.
