Overview of this book

Building Blazor WebAssembly Applications with gRPC will take you to the next level in your web development career. After working through all the essentials of gRPC, Blazor, and source generators, you will be far from a beginner C# developer and would qualify as a developer with intermediate knowledge of the Blazor ecosystem. After a quick primer on the basics of Blazor technology, REST, gRPC, and source generators, you’ll dive straight into building Blazor WASM applications. You’ll learn about everything from two-way bindings and Razor syntax to project setup. The practical emphasis continues throughout the book as you steam through creating data repositories, working with REST, and building and registering gRPC services. The chapters also cover how to manage source generators, C# and debugging best practices, and more. There is no shorter path than this book to solidify your gRPC-enabled web development knowledge. By the end of this book, your knowledge of building Blazor applications with one of the most modern and powerful frameworks around will equip you with a highly sought-after skill set that you can leverage in the best way possible.

Summary

After reading this chapter, you should know about EF Core and how to use it to create a code-first database in MSSQL, how to create migrations, and how to apply them to the server.

We also covered the topic of mapping the objects between each other using AutoMapper and why you should not expose the database schema to the client.

You should also have some idea about how to create generic services to manipulate the data.

By now, you should be able to create any kind of database entity with the corresponding business model returned to the client. Also, you should be able to create data services for CRUD operations.

In the next chapter, we will take a closer look at connecting the client Blazor WebAssembly application to our server part to consume the created data services.
