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

Throughout this chapter, we have learned about testing software and especially Blazor WebAssembly components. First, we introduced the concept of testing, why it’s important, and the difference between unit testing and E2E testing. Then we introduced bUnit and set up the testing project. After that, we discovered the default tests written in a bUnit testing project template before starting to write our own, while learning gradually about bUnit’s features. While writing tests, we saw the need for mocking and faking services and features to satisfy the CUT. We learned about the Moq framework and the built-in mocking and faking services within bUnit. Finally, we introduced the Playwright library for .NET, which we can use to write E2E tests in Blazor WebAssembly.

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

  • Understand the importance of testing software
  • Be familiar with the bUnit library and its features
  • Write unit tests...
