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 looked at testing our application. We looked at how we can mock an API to make reliable tests. We also covered how to test JavaScript interop as well as authentication.

Tests can speed up our development and, most importantly, the quality of what we build. With bUnit combined with dependency injection, it is easy to build tests that can help us test our components.

Since we can test every component by itself, we don't have to log in, navigate to a specific place in our site, and then test the entire page as many other testing frameworks would have us do.

Now we have our site, containing reusable components, authentication, APIs, both Blazor Server and WebAssembly, authentication, shared code, JavaScript interop, state management, and tests. We only have one more thing to do: ship it!

In the next chapter, Chapter 14, Deploying to Production, it's time to ship.
