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 Static Web Apps

Azure Static Web Apps is a recently introduced Azure resource that simplifies the building and deployment of static web apps. However, it’s important to note that it’s not suitable for publishing a Blazor WebAssembly ASP.NET Core Hosted app as it doesn’t provide a server that supports .NET. Instead, it’s designed to serve static web files and projects and is optimized for this type of application. One of its key benefits is its ability to distribute static files globally, enabling users to access an app quickly from the nearest geographic location.

One of the great features of Azure Static Web Apps is its automatic CI and CD pipeline when using GitHub or Azure DevOps. This means that whenever you submit any code changes to the repository, the pipeline is triggered to build and deploy the updated code.
