Blazor WebAssembly by Example

By: Toi B. Wright

Overview of this book

Blazor WebAssembly makes it possible to run C# code on the browser instead of having to use JavaScript, and does not rely on plugins or add-ons. The only technical requirement for using Blazor WebAssembly is a browser that supports WebAssembly, which, as of today, all modern browsers do. Blazor WebAssembly by Example is a project-based guide for learning how to build single-page web applications using the Blazor WebAssembly framework. This book emphasizes the practical over the theoretical by providing detailed step-by-step instructions for each project. You'll start by building simple standalone web applications and progress to developing more advanced hosted web applications with SQL Server backends. Each project covers a different aspect of the Blazor WebAssembly ecosystem, such as Razor components, JavaScript interop, event handling, application state, and dependency injection. The book is designed in such a way that you can complete the projects in any order. By the end of this book, you will have experience building a wide variety of single-page web applications with .NET, Blazor WebAssembly, and C#.

Summary

You should now be able to use the EditForm component in conjunction with the built-in input components to input data. You should also be comfortable with the built-in validation components.

In this chapter, we introduced the built-in EditForm component, various input components, and validation components. After that, we used the Blazor WebAssembly App project template to create a multi-project solution. We added a couple of classes and API controllers. Next, we configured SQL Server by updating the connection string to the database and using Entity Framework migrations. We updated the Home page to display the list of expenses. Finally, we added a new page that includes an EditForm component and many of the built-in input components in order to input, validate, and submit the expenses.

We can apply our new skills to add data input, validation, and submission to any Blazor WebAssembly app.

The next step is to start building your own web apps. To stay up to date and learn...
