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 how to create an endpoint on the server side of the Blazor WebAssembly application. You should also know how to create these endpoints in a generic way and how to call the endpoints from the client side of the application.

We also covered the topic of creating the Blazor components with generic parameters and how to connect these components to consume the REST endpoints to get data to the client or send data to the server.

By now, you should be able to create your own Blazor components that can generate dynamic HTML content for websites. You should also know more about generic parameters in the components and how to inject the services on the client side of the Blazor WebAssembly application.

In the next chapter, we will take a closer look at gRPC services. We will introduce two ways of defining the gRPC services in C# applications and discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each. We will then create a copy of the existing...
