Web Development with Blazor

By: Jimmy Engström

Overview of this book

Blazor is an essential tool if you want to build interactive web apps without JS, but it comes with its own learning curve. Web Development with Blazor will help you overcome most common challenges developers face when getting started with Blazor and teach you the best coding practices. You’ll start by learning how to leverage the power of Blazor and explore the full capabilities of both Blazor Server and Blazor WebAssembly. Then you’ll move on to the practical part, which is centred around a sample project – a blog engine. This is where you’ll apply all your newfound knowledge about creating Blazor Server and Blazor WebAssembly projects, the inner working of Razor syntax, and validating forms, as well as creating your own components. You’ll learn all the key concepts involved in web development with Blazor, which you’ll also be able to put into practice straight away. By showing you how all the components work together practically, this book will help you avoid some of the common roadblocks that novice Blazor developers face and inspire you to start experimenting with Blazor on your other projects. When you reach the end of this Blazor book, you'll have gained the confidence you need to create and deploy production-ready Blazor applications.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned how we can handle state in our application and how we can use local storage to store data, both encrypted and not. We looked at different ways of doing that and we also made sure to include SignalR to be able to use real-time communication with the server.

Almost all applications need to save data in some form. Perhaps it can be settings or preferences. The things we covered in the chapter are the most common ones, but we should also know that there are many open source projects we can use to persist state. We could save the information using IndexDB.

In the next chapter, we will take a look at debugging. Hopefully, you won't have needed to read that chapter beforehand.
