Overview of this book

Building Blazor WebAssembly Applications with gRPC will take you to the next level in your web development career. After working through all the essentials of gRPC, Blazor, and source generators, you will be far from a beginner C# developer and would qualify as a developer with intermediate knowledge of the Blazor ecosystem. After a quick primer on the basics of Blazor technology, REST, gRPC, and source generators, you’ll dive straight into building Blazor WASM applications. You’ll learn about everything from two-way bindings and Razor syntax to project setup. The practical emphasis continues throughout the book as you steam through creating data repositories, working with REST, and building and registering gRPC services. The chapters also cover how to manage source generators, C# and debugging best practices, and more. There is no shorter path than this book to solidify your gRPC-enabled web development knowledge. By the end of this book, your knowledge of building Blazor applications with one of the most modern and powerful frameworks around will equip you with a highly sought-after skill set that you can leverage in the best way possible.

Preface

This book will introduce you to the Blazor WebAssembly technology and help you in deciding to use this technology in your projects. Blazor is an ideal framework for developing the frontend of websites and can compete well with existing JavaScript frameworks.

While there are multiple development options within Blazor, this book is focused on the WebAssembly hosting model, where you can create static websites or dynamic websites with a separate frontend and backend.

The idea of using gRPC instead of REST for the Blazor WebAssembly application proves itself as a great option within shared models, leading to a strongly typed client and server available in both parts of the Blazor WebAssembly application.

In the last part of this book, you will also be introduced to source generators and learn how you can use them to generate repetitive code with zero mistakes.
