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.

Moving data among components

Methods in C# work by accepting parameters to process and return other types of data post processing. Blazor components work according to the exact same concept. Because each component represents a piece of UI alongside its logic, there is always the need to give the component some data for it to function according to the set logic. So functionally, a Blazor component either renders the data that is input in a certain way, or responds based on the set logic.

A Blazor component, in some cases, requires some data as an input either to render the data in the UI or to control its internal logic based on the values provided. Also, in many scenarios, components have the ability to send data back to the parent. The effective collaboration of the app components by communicating with each other provides us with the clean, well-functioning, and effective app that we are trying to build.

Luckily, Blazor provides us with powerful mechanisms to allow the transfer...
