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 understand source generators, how they are defined, and what can or can’t be generated. You should also know how they can help you and how to use them in your projects to make the development process faster and avoid code repetition.

We also covered the topic of partial classes and methods and how they correspond with source generators.

By now, you should be able to write a custom source generator to not only automate creating the service classes for the models but also to define the receivers to limit the code processed by the generator itself.

In the next chapter, we will take a closer look at some tips and best practices in C# and gRPC.
