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 have covered some important topics in client-side software development: forms, data submission, and validation. We went over the basic definitions of forms and introduced the EditForm component in Blazor. Then, we reviewed the built-in input components in Blazor. After that, we covered the concept of validation and the DataAnnotationsValidator, ValidationSummary, and ValidationMessage components. Finally, we showed an example of how to develop our own custom input component. With these topics covered, you should have learned the following:

  • Why we need forms and how they work
  • How to develop a basic form using the EditForm component in Blazor
  • How to use the built-in input components available in Blazor
  • How to validate the input of the user using data annotation validators and view the result in the UI
  • How to develop a custom input component for advanced cases where the built-in components aren’t suitable
