My Blazor WASM app has some pages that should be customized and different for every customer. Can I override my starting pages with the ones inside an external Razor Class library?

I have to make a website with different Java-Tasks and informations. The user can join the homepage and can click to different pages. On the Java page he can do some tasks. The website is completely done with HTML. Now i need GWT for the tasks.(multiple choice etc.) This page is easy to make, when i only have this page. But how can i put all these things together. I mean: a homepage and different pages with only html and links and a page which is also linked to all other pages for navigation and is done with gwt for the different tasks. Do i need GWT for all the other pages or only for the task-page? On the other pages there is only text.
You don't need GWT for all the pages, but you can use it.
You can create a GWT project with a Module for the GWT page you want and a static HTML for each one of the HTML pages.
Alternatively, you can build a web application that loads the content of each page dynamically in the same element (e.g. in <div id="content"></div>), based a URL token (e.g. < url >#somepage) triggered by your menu items. You can get the token value in GWT with com.google.gwt.user.client.History.getToken().
Web applications such as Gmail work like that. For your use case, with many static pages (pure HTML), it might seem to be an overkill. But if you are using GWT anyway, I would do it like that. In the long term you don't have to update the menu in each HTML page, as you have a single widget for that. You get scalability and a better project organization.
I know a typical practice to build an Electron app is to follow SPA (Single Page App). I still would like to split my html content into separate files for easy maintenance. There is still the main index.html file which is to be loaded on startup.
My question is: is there a protocol for inserting a part of html content from a different files? For eg. in Django, there is a include and extend tags where you can insert an entire html file into the body of another parent html file or retain certain features from another html file.
There's no way to do this directly. Django is a server-side framework, so you can assemble your HTML on the server, and the completed HTML is sent to the client/browser. With Electron, you're basically running Chromium with Node.js APIs added, loading your HTML from the filesystem, so there's no server to do any HTML assembly in.
However, if you just want to break up your HTML into pieces for easier maintenance, but you're not doing any of your include/extend dynamically, theoretically, you could use some kind of templating system or a static site generator to combine your HTML files statically at build time.

I have a few static pages like About US, Summary Info, etc.
Now, I do not want to create these pages in Angular, because these pages may change in time. I want to reduce the overhead of building Angular project every time for a static page and I want to call this static HTML pages directly from my Angular page so that whenever any change in this static page occurs, I can just simply replace these pages. This way I won't need to re-build the entire Angular project. Is it possible???
When building an MVC project, there's a shared folder automatically provided in which I have Layout.cshtml page that's used like the holder or master page (as it was called in Web Forms). So, all the banners, navbars, footers etc. go in there, while the acutal pages being developed refer to it in the source code and got pasted together upon rendition. This far I'm following.
Now, I have a set up and AspNet website using Yeoman and the only thing I have is wwwroot directory in which I put the file start.html. (It's the same as index.html - I just wanted to try out if I have full control over default files.)
I'm unsure how to proceed. I.e. I'd like the links on the start.html to point to files like uno.html, duo.html etc. and read those into a designated part of the landing page (i.e. start.html).
Is it doable without using the magic of templates? I want to have full control over the rendition process.
There's no point googling it, I noticed, because anything I've got the last two hours leads to how to create master page not to how to emulate master page.
Well, the static files middleware is just for that: static files.
You roughly have two options:
Do everything client sided, i.e. rather than having normal links use javascript/ajax calls and embed the content of the static file in your start.html using javascript.
It should work, but has several down-sites like it requires javascript to work (not a big issue these days, except for the paranoids who use no-script browser extensions) and that web crawler still may have issues properly indexing ajax heavy web pages
Wait until ASP.NET Core 1.2 (scheduled for Q1-Q2 2017), which will add Razor Pages. Pages rendered with Razor template engine, but without the need of a controller.
1.2
WebSockets
SignalR
Razor Pages (Views without MVC controllers)
Web API security
If you don't wanna wait, try RazorLight, which is 3rd party open source library for rendering Razor views.
But all except the first one require some "magic template engine".
You could of course write an server-sided includes (SSI) middleware which would be based on UseStaticFiles middleware and parse the file and include the html files server sided before returning it. There is nothing out of the box for it as far as I know.
I'm writing a web application in ASP.NET Web Forms. I have a Master Page and I will include some knockout templates inside. For some structural reasons I don't want to add that templates inside the Master Page code directly, so they will be in differents files.
Structure.
Masterpage.master
template1.template.html
template2.template.html
template3.template.html
I have done the same thing in MVC, but it was easy just rendering partials.
Is there anyway to do the same thing with a helper class or something?
I need that code in every page that includes that Master Page.
Create a user control (.ascx) file and move the required markup out of your HTML files and into the ASCX files. Then register the controls (at the page or web.config level) and use them in your master page.
