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 introduced and applied all the concepts related to navigation and routing in a Blazor WebAssembly application. We started first by understanding routing and the Router component, and then we declared our first component that had a router. After that, we saw how to use the routing abilities in Blazor to transmit data between the pages using route and query string parameters. Then, we learned how to handle the not found UI and designed a simple and neat component for it.

Finally, we saw how we can take action and manipulate the UI when a navigation process happens in an application.

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

  • Create pages in your application and declare routes for them
  • Send data between pages using the route and query string parameters
  • Provide a custom UI for the not found address
  • Take certain actions when a navigation process occurs in the app

In the next chapter, we will start...
