Overview of this book

Blazor WebAssembly helps developers build web applications without the need for JavaScript, plugins, or add-ons. With its continued growth in popularity, getting started with Blazor now can open doors to new career paths and exciting projects – and Blazor WebAssembly by Example will make your first steps easier. This is a project-based guide that will teach you how to build single-page web applications with Blazor, focusing heavily on the practical over the theoretical by providing detailed step-by-step instructions for each project. The author also includes a video for each project showing her following the step-by-step instructions, so readers can use them if they're unsure about any particular step. In this updated edition, you'll start by building simple standalone web applications and gradually progress to developing more advanced hosted web applications with SQL Server backends. Each project will cover a different aspect of the Blazor WebAssembly ecosystem, such as Razor components, JavaScript interop, security, event handling, debugging on the client, application state, and dependency injection. The book’s projects get more challenging as you progress, but you don’t have to complete them in order, which makes this book a valuable resource for beginners as well as those who just want to dip into specific topics. By the end of this book, you will have experience and lots of know-how on how to build a wide variety of single-page web applications with .NET, Blazor WebAssembly, and C#.

Summary

You should now be able to debug and deploy a Blazor WebAssembly app.

In this chapter, we learned about debugging in both Visual Studio and DevTools. We learned about the different levels of logging and how to write to the log. We learned how to handle exceptions. Finally, we learned how to use AOT compilation before deploying a Blazor WebAssembly app to Microsoft Azure.

After that, we created a new project using the Blazor WebAssembly App Empty project template in Visual Studio. We added a simple Game component. We added some logging to the app. We added a breakpoint to the app using both Visual Studio and DevTools. We added an ErrorBoundary component to capture the unhandled errors. Finally, we enabled AOT compilation and deployed the application to Microsoft Azure.

In the next chapter, we will build a modal dialog using templated components.
