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

As this chapter comes to an end, our learning journey with this book is done. In this chapter, we learned how Blazor WebAssembly prepares an app for publishing, the steps it takes during this process, and how to configure them if needed. Then, we introduced the Blazor WebAsssembly ASP.NET Core Hosted project type and template, and then we deployed an ASP.NET Core Hosted Blazor project to Azure App Service. Finally, we deployed the project that we worked on during this book to the Azure Static Web Apps service.

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

  • Understand AOT compilation and when to configure it
  • Control publishing tasks such as trimming and compression
  • Differentiate between Blazor WebAssembly Hosted and standalone projects
  • Publish a Blazor WebAssembly ASP.NET Core Hosted project to Azure App Service
  • Publish a Blazor WebAssembly standalone project to Azure Static Web Apps

You have put in some amazing effort...
