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

In this chapter, we covered some interesting topics and concepts in Blazor, from understanding layouts and creating our first one to discovering the amazing concept of templated components while developing and using two interesting components. After that, we went a bit more advanced into showing the power of the DynamicComponent available in Blazor, and finally, we covered the Razor Class Library, understood its benefits, and created and referenced our own component.

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

  • Create and consume different layouts for your application
  • Create templated components to help you wrap and reduce the amount of repeated code by defining a template for a certain task such as a modal popup or a data list view
  • Take advantage of the ability of DynamicComponent to have more dynamic UIs in your apps
  • Create and reference Razor Class Library projects to have a more organized project structure and more reusability...
