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.

Publishing Blazor WebAssembly to Azure App Service

In this section, we will publish the Blazor WebAssembly ASP.NET Core Hosted version to the cloud, specifically Azure, and the hosting service will be Azure App Service.

Azure App Service is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution that allows the deployment of web apps at scale. The service is fully managed by Azure and it supports different programming languages and frameworks, in addition to supporting containers.

Azure App Service provides multiple deployment options to push your app to it:

  • Continuous deployment: Azure App Service supports continuous deployment from multiple sources, such as GitHub, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket. This means that whenever changes are pushed to the source code repository, the application will be built and deployed automatically to Azure App Service.
