I am getting a System.PlatformNotSupportedException
from the mono platform when trying to run my blazor app on webassembly.
I autogenerated a web api client using Autorest. Everything is compiling fine but when I load the code in the browser I get the error below in the browser console.
Using a preview build of VS2017.
module.printErr @ MonoPlatform.ts:192
WASM: [System.PlatformNotSupportedException] Operation is not supported on this platform.

Yes it is possible. But you have to use the HttpClient that is injected by the blazor framework as described here:
https://learn-blazor.com/architecture/rest-api/
(thanks for the link Flores!)
The HttpClient is marked as protected in the Microsoft.Rest.ServiceClient that is used by Autorest. So to inject the HttpClient from blazor, you can create a new partial of the autogenerated client class and add a SetHttpClient
method:
The class generated by autorest:
public partial class YourApi : ServiceClient<YourApi>, IYourApi
{
...
}
Your new partial:
public partial class YourApi
{
public void SetHttpClient(HttpClient client) {
this.HttpClient = client;
}
}
Nice and simple!
