Overview of this book

Blazor is an essential tool if you want to build interactive web apps without JavaScript, but it has a learning curve. Updated with the latest code in .NET 7 and C# 11 and written by someone who adopted Blazor early, this book will help you overcome the challenges associated with being a beginner with Blazor and teach you the best coding practices. You’ll start by learning how to leverage the power of Blazor and exploring the full capabilities of both Blazor Server and Blazor WebAssembly. Then you'll move on to the practical part, centered around a sample project – a blog engine. You'll apply all your newfound knowledge about creating Blazor projects, the inner workings of Razor syntax, validating forms, and creating your own components. This new edition also looks at source generators, dives deeper into Blazor WebAssembly with ahead-of-time, and includes a dedicated new chapter demonstrating how to move components of an existing JavaScript (Angular, React) or MVC-based website to Blazor or combine the two. You’ll also see how to use Blazor (Hybrid) together with .NET MAUI to create cross-platform desktop and mobile applications. When you reach the end of this book, you'll have the confidence you need to create and deploy production-ready Blazor applications, and you'll have a big-picture view of the Blazor landscape.

Storing data on the server side

There are many different ways in which to store data on the server side. The only thing to remember is that Blazor WebAssembly will always need an API. Blazor Server doesn’t need an API since we can access the server-side resources directly.

I have had discussions with many developers when it comes to APIs or direct access and it all boils down to what you intend to do with the application. If you are building a Blazor Server application and have no interest in moving to Blazor WebAssembly, I would probably go for direct access, as we have done in the MyBlog project.

I would not do direct database queries in the components though. I would keep it in an API, just not a Web API. As we have seen, exposing those API functions in an API, as we did in Chapter 7, Creating an API, is not a lot of steps. We can always start with direct sever access and move to an API if we want to.

When it comes to ways of storing data, we can save data in Blob storage, key...
