Overview of this book

Blazor WebAssembly is a revolutionary technology in software development that enables you to develop web applications with a rich user interface using C# without JavaScript. It can be run natively in the browser and soon on mobile apps with .NET MAUI, making it a superweapon in the .NET developer’s toolbox. This capability has opened the doors for the JavaScript community to have a stable framework to build single page applications (SPAs) maintained by Microsoft and driven by the community. Mastering Blazor WebAssembly is a complete resource that teaches you everything you need to build client-side web applications using C# & .NET 7.0. Throughout this book, you’ll discover the anatomy of a Blazor WebAssembly project, along with the build, style, and structure of the components. You’ll implement forms to catch user input and collect data, as well as explore the topics of navigating between the pages in depth. The chapters will guide you through handling complex scenarios like RenderTrees, writing efficient unit tests, using variant security methods, and publishing the app to different providers, all in a practical manner. By the end of this book, you’ll have the skills necessary to build web apps with Blazor WebAssembly, along with the basics for a future in mobile development with .NET MAUI and Blazor.

Implementing global error handlers

Having a global error handler gives you a centralized place to handle all errors the same way. This will also allow centralized logging. Errors such as API request timeouts, internal server errors, or any other unexpected scenarios will be handled here. Handling them will consist of showing a readable message to the user, indicating that something went wrong and logging the error.

We will use cascading parameters to create an error handler component for our app. This component will be placed in the App.razor file and will wrap all the other app components. It will have a method that takes an exception as a parameter and processes it accordingly. By using a cascading parameter, we can provide the error handler component as an object for all the descendant components in our app. With that, any component can have access to the handler instance and will be able to call the handle method exception.

Let’s implement the flow and use it within...
