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#.

Overview of the EditForm component

In the previous chapters of this book, we used the standard HTML form element to collect user input. However, the Blazor WebAssembly framework provides an enhanced version of the standard HTML form element called the EditForm component.

The EditForm component not only manages forms, it also coordinates both validation and submission events. The following code shows an empty EditForm element:

<EditForm Model="expense" OnValidSubmit="HandleValidSubmit">   
</EditForm>

In the preceding code, the Model property specifies the top-level model object for the form. The OnValidSubmit property specifies the callback that will be invoked when the form is submitted without any validation errors.

There are three different callbacks that are associated with form submission:

  • OnValidSubmit
  • OnInvalidSubmit
  • OnSubmit

We can use the OnValidSubmit and OnInvalidSubmit callbacks together...
