Understanding Blazor hosting

Disclaimer I am referring to Blazor hosted , not server-side !

Can someone please explain me when running browser-hosted Blazor , why do i need to place in the Server.Startup the extension app.UseBlazor<Client.Startup> ? If the Blazor client is already hosted in a net core project -> Client.Startup why does my Server project need to add this extension ?

Isn't the client supposed to be decoupled from the server?

I am missing something here ? Why does my Server project need to know about the Client since my Client project is already standalone ?

enter image description here I have added a picture. So as you can see in my picture , if the server is communicating via http with the client, why do i need to add the extension ? Blazor is already running in a asp-net-core which is the Client project am i not right?

"Why does my Server project need to know about the Client since my Client project is already standalone ?"

No, yours is not a standalone project. Your project contains two apps. Just read what you wrote yourself. Do try to remove your server project and run the Blazor app. You've got a front-end app (Blazor) running in the Browser. But you need an app to serve the Blazor app: ASP.NET Core app that runs on a server.

"Blazor is already running in a asp-net-core which is the Client project am i not right?"

As far as I know, Blazor is running under mono webassembly.

I would suggest you to read the contents of the UseBlazor method to learn what it does, and why it is needed. And as far as I recall it's Client.Program rather than Client.Startup.
