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.

Best Practices for C# and gRPC

Since this is the end of this book, I wanted to add some more information that we skipped, or that we touched on just a bit in the previous chapters, relating to the topics of Blazor, gRPC, and source generators. One book can’t cover everything, but I think I can speak just a bit more about these subjects to establish their importance and help you choose the best path to take in your development journey in Blazor.

In this chapter, we will discuss some more reasons why we can’t replace gRPC with REST and how they can coexist together. We will also learn how to debug the source generators and what else we can generate in our applications.

By the end of this chapter, you will know how to use the code-first approach to create a gRPC API in C#. You will also know how to debug the source generators and inspect the generated code in Visual Studio and on your disk. I hope that you will enjoy this last chapter and learn something new about...
