 ## Blazor WebAssembly
 
+### Environment
+
+When running an app locally, the environment defaults to Development. When the app is published, the environment defaults to Production.
+
+A hosted Blazor WebAssembly app picks up the environment from the server via a middleware that communicates the environment to the browser by adding the `blazor-environment` header. The value of the header is the environment. The hosted Blazor app and the server app share the same environment. For more information, including how to configure the environment, see <xref:fundamentals/environments>.
+
+For a standalone app running locally, the development server adds the `blazor-environment` header to specify the Development environment. To specify the environment for other hosting environments, add the `blazor-environment` header.
+
+In the following example for IIS, add the custom header to the published *web.config* file. The *web.config* file is located in the *bin/Release/{TARGET FRAMEWORK}/publish* folder:
+
+```xml
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+<configuration>
+  <system.webServer>
+
+    ...
+
+    <httpProtocol>
+      <customHeaders>
+        <add name="blazor-environment" value="Staging" />
+      </customHeaders>
+    </httpProtocol>
+  </system.webServer>
+</configuration>
+```
+
+Obtain the app's environment in a component by injecting `IWebAssemblyHostEnvironment` and reading the `Environment` property:
+
+```razor
+@page "/"
+@using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Hosting
+@inject IWebAssemblyHostEnvironment HostEnvironment
+
+<h1>Environment example</h1>
+
+<p>Environment: @HostEnvironment.Environment</p>
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
 As of the ASP.NET Core 3.2 Preview 3 release, Blazor WebAssembly supports configuration from:
 
 * *wwwroot/appsettings.json*
 * *wwwroot/appsettings.{ENVIRONMENT}.json*
 
-In a Blazor Hosted app, the [runtime environment](xref:fundamentals/environments) is the same as the server app's value.
+Add an *appsettings.json* file in the *wwwroot* folder:
 
-When running the app locally, the environment defaults to Development. When the app is published, the environment defaults to Production. For more information, including how to configure the environment, see <xref:fundamentals/environments>.
+```json
+{
+    "message": "Hello from config!"
+}
+```
+
+Inject an <xref:Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.IConfiguration> instance into a component to access the configuration data:
+
+```razor
+@page "/"
+@using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration
+@inject IConfiguration Configuration
+
+<h1>Configuration example</h1>
+
+<p>@Configuration["message"]</p>
+```
 
 > [!WARNING]
 > Configuration in a Blazor WebAssembly app is visible to users. **Don't store app secrets or credentials in configuration.**
