1. Introduction to Frontend Fusion

The Modern Web Development Landscape

In today's web development ecosystem, the separation of frontend and backend has become a standard practice. However, seamlessly integrating these two worlds remains a challenge that many developers face. Frontend Fusion represents the art and science of blending JavaScript frameworks with ASP.NET Core to create powerful, maintainable, and scalable applications.

Why Frontend Fusion Matters

Traditional Approach Limitations:

• Tight coupling between UI and business logic

• Limited scalability

• Poor developer experience

• Difficulty in adopting new frontend technologies

Frontend Fusion Benefits:

• Independent development workflows

• Technology flexibility

• Improved performance

• Better team specialization

• Enhanced user experience

Real-World Scenario: E-Commerce Platform

Imagine building an e-commerce platform where:

• Product catalog uses React for rich interactivity

• Admin dashboard uses Angular for enterprise features

• Customer portal uses Vue.js for lightweight performance

• All seamlessly integrated with ASP.NET Core backend

2. Architecture Patterns

2.1 Separation of Concerns Architecture

├── vue-app/                // Vue.js SPA
└── shared-components/      // Shared UI Components

2.2 Micro-Frontends Architecture

csharp

// ASP.NET Core serving multiple frontends
public class FrontendRoutingMiddleware
{
    private readonly RequestDelegate _next;
    
    public FrontendRoutingMiddleware(RequestDelegate next)
    {
        _next = next;
    }
    
    public async Task InvokeAsync(HttpContext context)
    {
        var path = context.Request.Path.Value ?? "";
        
        if (path.StartsWith("/react"))
        {
            // Serve React app
            await ServeReactApp(context);
        }
        else if (path.StartsWith("/angular"))
        {
            // Serve Angular app
            await ServeAngularApp(context);
        }
        else if (path.StartsWith("/vue"))
        {
            // Serve Vue app
            await ServeVueApp(context);
        }
        else
        {
            await _next(context);
        }
    }
}

2.3 API Gateway Pattern

csharp

// Program.cs - API Gateway configuration
builder.Services.AddReverseProxy()
    .LoadFromConfig(builder.Configuration.GetSection("ReverseProxy"));

// appsettings.json
{
  "ReverseProxy": {
    "Routes": {
      "react-app": {
        "ClusterId": "react-cluster",
        "Match": { "Path": "/react/{**catch-all}" }
      },
      "angular-app": {
        "ClusterId": "angular-cluster",
        "Match": { "Path": "/angular/{**catch-all}" }
      },
      "vue-app": {
        "ClusterId": "vue-cluster",
        "Match": { "Path": "/vue/{**catch-all}" }
      }
    },
    "Clusters": {
      "react-cluster": {
        "Destinations": { "react-server": { "Address": "https://localhost:3000/" } }
      },
      "angular-cluster": {
        "Destinations": { "angular-server": { "Address": "https://localhost:4200/" } }
      },
      "vue-cluster": {
        "Destinations": { "vue-server": { "Address": "https://localhost:8080/" } }
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Project Setup & Configuration

3.1 ASP.NET Core Backend Setup

csharp

// Program.cs - Modern minimal API setup
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.JwtBearer;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using Microsoft.OpenApi.Models;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add services
builder.Services.AddControllers();
builder.Services.AddEndpointsApiExplorer();

// Database Context
builder.Services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
    options.UseSqlServer(builder.Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));

// CORS for multiple frontends
builder.Services.AddCors(options =>
{
    options.AddPolicy("AllowAllFrontends", policy =>
    {
        policy.WithOrigins(
                "http://localhost:3000", // React
                "http://localhost:4200", // Angular
                "http://localhost:8080") // Vue.js
            .AllowAnyHeader()
            .AllowAnyMethod()
            .AllowCredentials();
    });
});

// Authentication
builder.Services.AddAuthentication(JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
    .AddJwtBearer(options =>
    {
        options.TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters
        {
            ValidateIssuer = true,
            ValidateAudience = true,
            ValidateLifetime = true,
            ValidateIssuerSigningKey = true,
            ValidIssuer = builder.Configuration["Jwt:Issuer"],
            ValidAudience = builder.Configuration["Jwt:Audience"],
            IssuerSigningKey = new SymmetricSecurityKey(
                Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(builder.Configuration["Jwt:Secret"]))
        };
    });

// Swagger/OpenAPI
builder.Services.AddSwaggerGen(c =>
{
    c.SwaggerDoc("v1", new OpenApiInfo { Title = "ECommerce API", Version = "v1" });
    
    // JWT Support in Swagger
    c.AddSecurityDefinition("Bearer", new OpenApiSecurityScheme
    {
        Description = "JWT Authorization header using the Bearer scheme",
        Type = SecuritySchemeType.Http,
        Scheme = "bearer"
    });
});

var app = builder.Build();

// Configure pipeline
if (app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
    app.UseSwagger();
    app.UseSwaggerUI();
}

app.UseCors("AllowAllFrontends");
app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();
app.MapControllers();

app.Run();

}

// Frontend configuration service
public class FrontendConfigService
{
    private readonly IConfiguration _configuration;
    
    public FrontendConfigService(IConfiguration configuration)
    {
        _configuration = configuration;
    }
    
    public FrontendConfig GetConfig(string frontendType)
    {
        return frontendType.ToLower() switch
        {
            "react" => new FrontendConfig 
            { 
                ApiUrl = _configuration["ApiBaseUrl"],
                AppUrl = _configuration["Frontend:ReactAppUrl"],
                Features = new List<string> { "SSR", "PWA", "RealTime" }
            },
            "angular" => new FrontendConfig 
            { 
                ApiUrl = _configuration["ApiBaseUrl"],
                AppUrl = _configuration["Frontend:AngularAppUrl"],
                Features = new List<string> { "LazyLoading", "AOT", "Universal" }
            },
            "vue" => new FrontendConfig 
            { 
                ApiUrl = _configuration["ApiBaseUrl"],
                AppUrl = _configuration["Frontend:VueAppUrl"],

            },
            _ => throw new ArgumentException($"Unknown frontend type: {frontendType}")
        };
    }
}

public class FrontendConfig
{

// Create API client instance
export const apiClient = new ApiClient(import.meta.env.VITE_API_BASE_URL);

4.3 React Hooks for API Integration

typescript

// src/hooks/useApi.ts
import { useQuery, useMutation, useQueryClient } from '@tanstack/react-query';
import { apiClient } from '../services/apiClient';

// Product types
export interface Product {
  id: number;
  name: string;
  description: string;
  price: number;
  category: string;
  imageUrl: string;
  stock: number;
  createdAt: string;
}

export interface CreateProductRequest {
  name: string;
  description: string;
  price: number;
  category: string;
  imageUrl: string;
  stock: number;
}

// Product API hooks
export const useProducts = (category?: string) => {
  return useQuery({
    queryKey: ['products', category],
    queryFn: () => 
      apiClient.get<Product[]>('/api/products', { category }),
    staleTime: 5 * 60 * 1000, // 5 minutes
  });
};

export const useProduct = (id: number) => {
  return useQuery({
    queryKey: ['products', id],
    queryFn: () => apiClient.get<Product>(`/api/products/${id}`),
    enabled: !!id,
  });
};

export const useCreateProduct = () => {
  const queryClient = useQueryClient();
  
  return useMutation({
    mutationFn: (product: CreateProductRequest) =>
      apiClient.post<Product>('/api/products', product),
    onSuccess: () => {
      // Invalidate and refetch products query
      queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['products'] });
    },
  });
};

export const useUpdateProduct = () => {
  const queryClient = useQueryClient();
  
  return useMutation({
    mutationFn: ({ id, ...product }: Partial<Product> & { id: number }) =>
      apiClient.put<Product>(`/api/products/${id}`, product),
    onSuccess: (_, variables) => {
      queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['products'] });
      queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['products', variables.id] });
    },
  });
};

export const useDeleteProduct = () => {
  const queryClient = useQueryClient();
  
  return useMutation({
    mutationFn: (id: number) =>
      apiClient.delete(`/api/products/${id}`),

export const ProductList: React.FC<ProductListProps> = ({ 
  category, 
  onProductSelect 
}) => {
  const { data: products, isLoading, error } = useProducts(category);
  const deleteProductMutation = useDeleteProduct();

  const handleDelete = async (productId: number) => {
    if (window.confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this product?')) {
      try {
        await deleteProductMutation.mutateAsync(productId);
      } catch (error) {
        console.error('Failed to delete product:', error);
      }
    }
  };

  if (isLoading) return <LoadingSpinner />;
  if (error) return <ErrorMessage message="Failed to load products" />;

  return (
    <div className="product-grid">
      {products?.map((product) => (
        <ProductCard
          key={product.id}
          product={product}
          onSelect={onProductSelect}
          onDelete={handleDelete}
          canDelete={true}
        />
      ))}
    </div>
  );
};

import { HubConnection, HubConnectionBuilder, LogLevel } from '@microsoft/signalr';

class SignalRService {
  private connection: HubConnection | null = null;
  private reconnectAttempts = 0;
  private maxReconnectAttempts = 5;

  async connect(hubUrl: string): Promise<void> {
    try {
      this.connection = new HubConnectionBuilder()
        .withUrl(hubUrl)
        .withAutomaticReconnect([0, 2000, 5000, 10000, 30000])
        .configureLogging(LogLevel.Information)
        .build();

      this.setupEventHandlers();

      await this.connection.start();
      console.log('SignalR Connected');
      this.reconnectAttempts = 0;
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('SignalR Connection Failed:', error);
      this.handleReconnection();

      this.handleReconnection();
    });

    this.connection.onreconnecting(() => {
      console.log('SignalR Reconnecting...');
    });

    this.connection.onreconnected(() => {
      console.log('SignalR Reconnected');
      this.reconnectAttempts = 0;
    });
  }

  private handleReconnection(): void {
    if (this.reconnectAttempts < this.maxReconnectAttempts) {
      this.reconnectAttempts++;
      setTimeout(() => {
        this.connect(this.connection?.connection.baseUrl || '');
      }, Math.min(1000 * this.reconnectAttempts, 30000));
    }
  }

  on<T>(methodName: string, callback: (data: T) => void): void {
    this.connection?.on(methodName, callback);
  }

  async invoke<T>(methodName: string, ...args: any[]): Promise<T> {
    if (!this.connection) {
      throw new Error('SignalR connection not established');
    }
    return await this.connection.invoke<T>(methodName, ...args);
  }

  async disconnect(): Promise<void> {
    if (this.connection) {
      await this.connection.stop();
      this.connection = null;
