Web Development with Blazor

By: Jimmy Engström

Overview of this book

Blazor has grown, and with that growth comes a simple question: How should we build Blazor apps today? This book answers that question by building a real application step by step. We start with what Blazor is, why it is not just WebAssembly, and how the different hosting models fit together. From there, we create components, manage state, build forms with validation, add APIs, secure the app with authentication and authorization, use JavaScript when it makes sense, and test our components with bUnit. We also look at the key aspects of modern Blazor development, including render modes, server-side rendering, WebAssembly, Aspire, OpenTelemetry, debugging, deployment, and how to work with existing sites when starting from scratch is not an option. The goal is not only to copy code but also to understand why we choose one approach over another. Should this be SSR, Server, WebAssembly, or Auto? Where should interactivity live? What changes when the code runs in the browser? We answer those questions without making things more complicated than they need to be. Whether you're new to Blazor or upgrading from an earlier edition, the fourth edition brings the book up to date with .NET 10, Aspire, tracing, metrics, testing, and modern Blazor app development. Own a raccoon cover already? The collection must continue. The raccoons insist.

Examining Source Generators

In this chapter, we will look at writing code that generates code using source generators. This isn't a Blazor-specific feature, but it's used behind the scenes in Blazor and is something we can take advantage of in our own applications. The subject of source generators is a book in itself, but I wanted to introduce them since they help reduce repetitive coding, and honestly, they're one of my favorite features. I am the kind of person who will spend a whole day writing source code to avoid a repetitive task, even if that task only takes 10 minutes each time. Repetitive tasks have never been my favorite.

In this chapter, we will cover the following:

  • What a source generator is
  • How to get started with source generators
  • Community projects

The idea for this chapter is for you to use it as a reference so that you can implement a new project on your own.
