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.

Using the Razor Class Library for packaging and reusability

We have created plenty of components in this chapter and the previous one, but as you may have noticed, all those components are mostly located in the same project within the Shared folder. So, you may have wondered how to use the exact same component in other projects within the same solution or maybe within a totally different solution.

.NET offers another type of project called the Razor Class Library, and the main purpose of this project is to have a Blazor component, and then you can reference this project within your other projects, solutions, your entire organization, or even publish it as a NuGet package so it could be used by other developers worldwide.

In this section, we will create a new Razor Class Library project, reference it within our Books Store project, and learn how to reference static resources such as CSS and JavaScript files within our Blazor WebAssembly project.

Sometimes, reusability is not...
