use-igniteui-blazor

Add, configure, or review Ignite UI for Blazor Lite component support in Blazor applications. USE FOR: installing IgniteUI.Blazor.Lite or IgniteUI.Blazor.GridLite, registering AddIgniteUIBlazor() in Blazor Server, WASM, Hybrid, or split Blazor Web App projects, adding @using IgniteUI.Blazor.Controls, wiring the theme stylesheet, picking the right host page, locating the GridLite stylesheet path, explaining single-project vs split Server/Client Web App setup differences, and checking where an interactive render mode is needed for Ignite UI components to work. DO NOT USE FOR: general Blazor component authoring without Ignite UI, choosing app architecture or render mode from scratch (see create-blazor-project), JavaScript interop (see use-js-interop), authentication (see configure-auth), prerendering (see support-prerendering), or layout/component design questions that need no Ignite UI setup.

# Application Setup & Component Registration

## 1. NuGet package

Before adding packages, inspect the target projects' target framework and existing package references. The lowest supported target framework version is .NET 8.0. If `IgniteUI.Blazor` or `IgniteUI.Blazor.Trial` is already referenced, keep that package strategy and do not add Lite or GridLite. Only switch package families when the user explicitly asks, replacing conflicting references rather than keeping both.

```bash
dotnet add package IgniteUI.Blazor.Lite       # OSS core UI components (MIT)
dotnet add package IgniteUI.Blazor.GridLite   # OSS lightweight grid (MIT)
```

Use `IgniteUI.Blazor.Lite` for core controls such as `IgbInput`, `IgbCombo` and `IgbDialog`, and `IgniteUI.Blazor.GridLite` for the lightweight grid. Reference both packages only when the app needs both. Do not invent per-component packages such as `IgniteUI.Blazor.Combo`.

Charts, maps, gauges and other premium components are not included in Lite. Check the requested component's package before recommending a reference.
