Upgrade Templates to .NET 9 & MudBlazor v8

[jperson2000]

Description

Resolves: #481

This update upgrades MudBlazor templates to match the latest ASP.NET Core Blazor Project templates. Changes include a reduced amount of code for auth pages, a better way to detect render modes, and an upgrade to .NET 9. Overall, however, files are largely the same.

Changes were made by performing the following steps:

1. Cloning the MudBlazor.Templates repo (clone link)
2. Cloning the aspnetcore repo (clone link)
3. Choose the net9 branch in aspnetcore
4. Comparing the MudBlazor Templates folder against aspnetcore\src\ProjectTemplates\Web.ProjectTemplates\content\BlazorWeb-CSharp\BlazorWeb-CSharp in BeyondCompare and setting the local code folders via Set Base Folders
5. Performing file-by-file comparisons and looking for changes apart from using MudBlazor components.

Special thanks once again to @Anu6is for the MudBlazor.Static library for the Account Management pages.

Using BeyondCompare to Update Templates

How Has This Been Tested?

This was tested by:

1. Running .\InstallAndBuildAllTemplates.ps1 PowerShell script
2. Observing that all builds succeeded
3. Opening each solution and testing all links

Was a little mistake to give the main branch instead of the tag 9.0, it seems the main is on two commits a head, but luckily it seems only the tempalate.json is different with the net.10, so here is the correct one for .net9.

The rest seems to be the same

You're totally right! That's a relief that only the template is different; I will get that sync'ed today then.

[ScarletKuro]

I added net9 to the build system, feel free to update the branch

[ScarletKuro]

Somehow it still fails to build in CI, tho it's fine locally via the nuke-build. Not sure why it still thinks net8 is installed. I will look at it tmr, too tired for it today.

[jperson2000]

Ok, I've finished testing all template projects and have verified that the new auth in .NET 9 is working as expected. I've restored the original Welcome message, and I think we're in good shape to review!

[ScarletKuro]

I will review and test this on weekends. I'm also guessing that we will merge this once the v8 is out?

[omidkrad]

Thanks for the update. Can you please also enable it to install with the dotnet new install MudBlazor.Templates command? Also README.md needs to be updated to show .NET 9.

[mjacob2]

Hi guys! May I ask, what is the approximate time to merge?

[jkears]

When will you be publishing the .net9 template?

[ScarletKuro]

When will you be publishing the .net9 template?

As I said, when MudBlazor v8 will be released (this month), they will be bundled together.

[jkears]

@ScarletKuro thank you for that clarification.
When you say this month, does that mean within the next 2 weeks? I am not trying to be pushy, I just need to be able to communicate our schedule with our team. We have used Mud Blazor for several years now and absolutely love it, so looking forward to getting V8 ASAP (which I am certain, most others are as eager as well). Thank you for all of your efforts, its an amazing UI library!

Yes, exactly.

V8 is out, but it will some time to roll out the template, as we depend on external dependency Extensions.MudBlazor.StaticInput that needs to be updated.

New templates are out

dotnet new install MudBlazor.Templates::3.0.0

In future there will further improvements to that template, for example @Anu6is has some solution for the drawer in static SSR.

dotnet new install MudBlazor.Templates::3.0.0

Its awesome. Thanks a lot!!!
