Blazor

A shallow dive into the various Blazor models Microsoft is suggesting

What?

We're going to explore the two models that Microsoft are suggesting to use Blazor:

• Client side
• Server side

For more information see the various Microsoft documentation pages:

• Introduction to Blazor
• Blazor hosting models

Alternatively, have a look at the slide deck for this meetup.

Blazor Client Side

1. Create a Client Side Blazor project in VS
2. Run!

Next, we'll create a component called Actors. This will use the csv file in the repo. We will need:

• a service to fetch the data
• a component to display the data in table format

Finally, add a two-way binding button to increment the number of actors to display.

Blazor Server Side

1. Create a Server Side Blazor project in VS
2. Run!

Follow the same steps above to fetch data and display on the page. Find out how much code can actually be copied across or shared!
