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 discovered various aspects of Blazor components, including how to create them using Razor syntax. We have also written our first component and learned how we can pass data between our components from parents to children and vice versa using parameters, cascading parameters, and EventCallbacks.

We also understood the life cycle events of each Blazor component, which are helpful to execute some logic in certain stages in the component’s lifetime. Finally, we walked through the available ways to write our project’s CSS, and saw how Blazor handles things behind the scenes for isolated CSS.

By now, you should be able to do the following:

  • Create and use a Blazor component
  • Pass data between components and across the components hierarchy
  • Leverage the component life cycle events and react to certain changes within the component lifetime in the app
  • Style your components and learn the different ways to deal with...
