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

With what we’ve covered in this chapter, you should be equipped with all the knowledge and experience you need to deal with anything JS related in your application, be it taking advantage of some built-in JS capabilities or using pre-built packages in your app with ease.

Throughout this chapter, we have learned why and when to use JavaScript in our Blazor WebAssembly application. We discovered the possible ways to implement interaction between the two languages in both directions. To put everything together and show you how you can leverage JavaScript to its full potential in your app, we ended up importing an open source library, wrapping it, and making it Blazor-ready so we can use it just like any other Blazor component.

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

  • Identify the purpose of JS in Blazor
  • Detect when it’s necessary to use some JS in your apps
  • Call JS methods from your .NET code and vice versa
  • ...
