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#.

Summary

You should now be able to handle events in your Blazor WebAssembly app. Also, you should be comfortable with using attribute splatting and arbitrary parameters.

In this chapter, we introduced event handling, attribute splatting, and arbitrary parameters. After that, we used the Empty Blazor WebAssembly App project template to create a new project. We added a Dropzone component to the application and used it to create a Kanban board. Finally, we added the ability to add tasks to the Kanban board while demonstrating both attribute splatting and arbitrary parameters.

Now that you know how to handle different types of events in your Blazor WebAssembly app, you can create more responsive applications. And, since you can use a dictionary to pass both explicitly declared attributes and implicit attributes to a component, you can create components faster since you do not need to explicitly define each parameter.

In the next chapter, we will use SQL Server to build a task...
