Blazor WebAssembly by Example

By: Toi B. Wright

Overview of this book

Blazor WebAssembly makes it possible to run C# code on the browser instead of having to use JavaScript, and does not rely on plugins or add-ons. The only technical requirement for using Blazor WebAssembly is a browser that supports WebAssembly, which, as of today, all modern browsers do. Blazor WebAssembly by Example is a project-based guide for learning how to build single-page web applications using the Blazor WebAssembly framework. This book emphasizes the practical over the theoretical by providing detailed step-by-step instructions for each project. You'll start by building simple standalone web applications and progress to developing more advanced hosted web applications with SQL Server backends. Each project covers a different aspect of the Blazor WebAssembly ecosystem, such as Razor components, JavaScript interop, event handling, application state, and dependency injection. The book is designed in such a way that you can complete the projects in any order. By the end of this book, you will have experience building a wide variety of single-page web applications with .NET, Blazor WebAssembly, and C#.

Project overview

The Blazor WebAssembly application that we are going to build in this chapter is a simple three-page application. Each page will be used to demonstrate one or more features of Razor components.

This is a screenshot of the completed Demo project:

After we have completed the Demo project, we will convert it into an empty Blazor WebAssembly project. The empty Blazor WebAssembly project will be used as the basis for a custom Blazor WebAssembly App project template.
