Blazor WebAssembly by Example

By: Toi B. Wright

Overview of this book

Blazor WebAssembly allows you to build web apps without the need for JavaScript, plugins, or add-ons. With its continued growth in popularity, Blazor WebAssembly can open doors to new career paths and exciting projects, and Blazor WebAssembly by Example makes getting started easy. This project-based guide teaches you how to build single-page web applications by focusing heavily on the practical over the theoretical. The author provides step-by-step instructions for each project as well as a video of her following those exact steps. In this updated edition, we've added two new chapters on integrating artificial intelligence into web apps built with Blazor WebAssembly. You'll start with simple standalone web apps and gradually progress to hosted web applications with SQL Server backends. Each project covers a different concept from the Blazor WebAssembly ecosystem, such as Razor components, JavaScript interop, security, events, debugging, state management, hosted applications, REST APIs, and AI. 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'll be building your own web apps with .NET and C# using Blazor WebAssembly.

As web developers, we can build beautiful, functional, complex web apps of all kinds. However, until recently there has been a clear divide between what a web app can do versus what a native app can do. A new class of apps called Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) is helping to bridge that divide by enabling us to add native-like capabilities, offline access, and installability to our web applications. A PWA is a web application that takes advantage of native app features while retaining all the characteristics you expect from a web application.

In this chapter, you will learn what defines a PWA, and how to convert a standard web application into a PWA by adding a web app manifest and a service worker. The web app manifest informs the browser how the application should look and behave when installed. The service worker functions as a background process that manages caching and provides offline access.

In this chapter, you will build a local...
