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.

Summary

This chapter discussed the importance of optimizing the performance of a software application beyond ensuring that it is fully functional. The focus was on Blazor WebAssembly and the various features it provides to help improve app performance. The chapter covered three main areas: increasing component efficiency, rendering optimization with ShouldRender, and decreasing app size with lazy loading. The Virtualize component was introduced, along with guidelines for improving Blazor components’ efficiency, especially in data-intensive applications. The ShouldRender method was also discussed. We highlighted its importance in controlling and optimizing the rendering process to improve app performance. Finally, the chapter explored Blazor’s lazy loading feature, which reduces the app’s initial size and speeds up the load time.

After completing this chapter, you should be able to do the following:
