[@Qrzychu92]

Actually, variables in Blazor are not reactive. To trigger rerender of the UI, StateHasChanged needs to be called. However, every UI interaction call that for you, covering 90% of cases where you need to do it. On top of that, you can use MVVM pattern to automate this even further. As for sharing state between components, there is a concept of Cascading Parameters, basically variables that trickle down to all your components.

[@AttackHelicopter64]

Cascading Parameters still require to send value and setter in separate cascades?

[@RoierHD]

In some cases the variables do update automatically, you can test this doing a repeating task changing a string or int while displaying it with @Variable

[@wlockuz4467]

Cascading Parameters sounds like Prop Drilling no? If yes then it doesn't scale well.

[@marna_li]

They are reactive as Blazor handles change tracking. But in certain cases you need to call StateHasChanged(). Like for code running in async methods not triggered by Blazor. Like a Timer callback updating the count field. But in normal cases code executed in lifecycle event and event handler methods with the EvenCallback delegate as its type will automatically trigger the functionality that detect changes.

[@AbhinavKulshreshtha]

Thanks for clarification, I was wondering about it, because last I heard about blazor, properties were not reactive and in order to make it reactive, quite a lot of setup was needed to be done.

[@hraezvelg]

I was working with React / C# as a fullstack dev, and switched to Blazor. What an improvement!

[@heldim92]

Could you detail a bit further? I'm currently in doubt between next/qwik/astro + golang OR blazor/c#...

[@hraezvelg]

@@heldim92 I like a lot C# as a language, the way it is written and how it works and all the stuff around it. In a contrary, I do not like Typescript that much as a language, I find it more complicated to do something in Typescript than in C#, and the code is more of a mess imo with Typescript. Then in React I do not like how Redux works, I do not like how callback are used and so on... You have to do a lot of things compared to Blazor to have something clean, but I think it's because I'm more confident with C#. And it's a pain in the ass to deal with NPM package with React, there are so many versions, everything can explode at any moment if you're not careful. Beside, with Blazor and the nuggets package, it's so easy! And the last and more important point, I can use C# as front AND back, it means I can make a code works in front and back without touching anything, and it's amazing, you have less code, it's more manageable, so less error and so on. With all of that, I can dev an app 3x faster while taking my time to do it using Blazor.

[@heldim92]

@@hraezvelg Thank you very much for your feedback! I feel you...I hate javascript and have been working on C/C++ stuff for 3 years now (totally different path), but the necessity to build a web application 100% SEO friendly has emerged and now I need to make my hands dirty on the webfrontend ecosystem... Your considerations about the way react handles data are relevant, I do agree with you that it's a mess and does not attract me. In fact, while researching after making you the previous question, I concluded that I would either try blazor or Svelte. It handles data similarly to Angular, which makes more sense to me, at least, but it's far cleaner. The reason why I'm still inclined to JS is because C# overall has a lot of boilerplate and I'm already familiarized with Go. Have you had any experiences with Svelte, or any considerations about it?

[@hraezvelg]

​@@heldim92 I do not know Svelte at all, but from what I see, it's just React using the functions system instead of classes, but it manages things like useMemo, useCallback which is imo a very good point. Yet even with that, I'll still go with Blazor, I jus't can't go back writing Typescript while I know C# can do the job. I repeat myself but, having only one language for the back and front both make be gain a lot of time.

I don't understand what is so miserable about js? Being depended on a framework sounds more miserable than optimizing your js code, which can be actually pretty challenging.

@@e.h.5680 you're entitled to your opinion of course. Typescript however has all the language features C# has and then some.

As a result, the code is invariably shorter and easier to write and get correct.

[@marianf25]

@@PelFox Well, it depends, blazor server is just so easy to use, since everything is already on the server, you can just inject a repo/service directly in the UI and it makes a perfect tool for starting a prototype superfast. Security is also so much easier to handle, since you expose very little to the frontend (and you also keep all your logic, including frontent, private). It also has faster loading times, but you need to host it as close to the users as possible to be effective (hosting the app in china and accessing it from US will make it feel slow, but it depends on the server load too). I'm a fan of blazor server for these reasons, and it's perfect for my project, but it's not for everyone. Blazor WASM is also great, aside from the initial loading time, I don't see any disadvantages to it. This also depends on your project, I managed to get the initial payload to 1.5Mb, which for a modern app is not that much. If you count the features you have, an alternative of doing those with JS will also require multiple libraries, and I've seen enterprise apps with 3Mb of JS only. I guess it depends on your type of app in the end.

The difference between client-side and server-side Blazor wouldn't fit in time ;) I agree using C# makes achieving industrial code quality more achievable, however, Blazor still has some quirks and rough edges as every new tech. The beginners will be super excited at first, then they will cry. Blazor is quite easy to learn the basics, but quite tough to REALLY figure out how it works. Anyway - I made a big app using Blazor like 2 years ago. It's heavily used 16 hours a day 6 days a week since then. It just works. No issues at all. It runs on the cheapest Azure VM. Another amazing thing: from time to time client asks me to add a feature. And it's easy, despite I no longer develop web apps most of the time. It's the code. Logically structured, easy to read, easy to maintain.

Looks cool to me I will definitely give it a try after I mastered React . I

You can use javascript with signalR server very easily.

[@kraxen72]

this is pretty cool, like svelte but with c# and wasm. good job creators of blazor

[@otockian]

Blazor is one of those things thats like oh thats cool and all but I can't think of a single thing I would ever use it for...

[@adds-kz3oc]

Anything that you would use React, Angular and Vue for? It's just another SPA at the end of the day.

[@daskampffredchen9242]

I love Blazor. Super easy to get into I am a serious noob in terms of WebDev and even I could do a small webpage that would put Arduino Data into a Database and Display it in a table

[@QvsTheWorld]

For people who want to build multiplatform apps using C# but not html, there is the Uno Platform. I've used it for 6 years now for over 30 commercial apps for clients.

[@anonymousannoyingmouse]

with dotnet core you can do the same, you can test this; and allow me to stain this comment, with a windows and a WSL if you are not a linux veteran like myself, i use vbox and vmware to test the ui on the various apps i develop with dotnet core, a plus to all of that is the vs 2022 community is robust in shortcuts and clickity clackity and mouse use want to change the identity UI? right click on the solution explorer, add an item and scaffold that stuff! not a microsoft affiliate or an ass kisser, but i reverted to using windows after failing to install vs on any linux distros nd the uno was another vscode with more tools from the get go, saves big time when coding.

[@ioneocla6577]

The thing is, it has top tier support only for visual studio for features such as auto completion. As i use the rider ide, i find it better to use avalonia (with mobile support) as it's officially supported.

[@amitkumdixit]

Please try MAUI

[@TheMrExomus]

You sold the deal for me, that's insane. Typescript to the dustbin. I want the same with Java or Kotlinnnnnnn !

[@donl.a.6045]

I've been waiting for this. 😀

[@CubiqleSystems]

Please do a video on MAUI

[@starstheengine]

Finally! Blazor has been noticed! It feels like svelte in typescript but with access to the Nuget ecosystem.

[@sashamugs]

a web framework doesn't exist until fireship covers it

This works Hella good! Recommended

i used to hate this idea, now i love

[@ahtisham996]

I am a blazor developer 🙂 nice videos

[@emreaka3965]

You're great!

[@vladimir_dev]

On a serious note, how about some videos on similarities/differences between Blazor and modern JS framework (like React) and its concepts (State management, reactive component-rerendering, etc)?

[@AlcantaraMC]

this is basically svelte in C#. nice!

[@totalchrisgaming]

This is the most interesting thing I’ve seen all year. I have a web app I’d like to try to port to Blazor

[@Wordsalad69420]

I really wish more people would realize the power of Blazor. High adoption rates would absolutely devastate the JavaScript library landscape. Which is excellent!

[@Icodestuff]

At first glance this is a kid of neat, I could see it being useful for backend devs especially

[@AshtonSnapp]

Interesting! (Considering Rust can also compile to wasm, I wonder if you could do something similar…)

[@jaiminparmar7996]

why u gotta bring up Rust in everything man 💀

[@NovaAquarius]

Look into tauri maybe?🤔

[@NathanHedglin]

Yes, but the tooling isn't there yet

[@kerodfresenbetgebremedhin1881]

yew

[@farrellraafi1301]

There is a framework written in rust called yew

[@potterloko0175]

You should do a longer video going over more feature of the blazor framework.

[@PrimalCoder]

This.

[@smotbutterman1127]

The original creator shared this video on Twitter, Jeff. Kudos!

[@arexon]

"Yew in 100 seconds" would be awesome!

[@annie3606]

"You can eliminate javascript from your frontend stack" As someone who works with it in the industry(We use SSR I can't speak for the WASM version) I can tell you: Hell no! There are loads of really important browser apis(e.g. clipboard, download, ...) that don't have normal support so you have to use the really ugly js interop for that! So personally (as a fulltime C# developer) I actually prefer some of the js frameworks(svelte, vue, ...) over it for many usecases.

[@lindennerdhh]

same here

[@kayaba_atributtion2156]

Svelte forevaaaa

[@YandiBanyu]

@@dewanata_armoon You'd be surprised then. Browser can access bluetooth, HID, heck even serial port. So, yep. I'd say modern browser is an OS.

[@finsflexin]

That’s is very interesting to know. Web is so wacky in weird ways, reminds me of the unused parameter in History.pushState().

[@annie3606]

@@dewanata_armoon yep and blazor while its convenient for some stuff just complicates stuff even more if u need those features xD

[@WineZ22]

Does it mean a strongly typed FrontEnd that is compiled 😮😮 Amazing. I might try this out.

[@RockingGameVideos]

Yes.

[@jungervin8765]

Use typescript. That's your strongly typed frontend. Your welcome.

[@haha-hk9tx]

It's interpreted from a wasm runtime... u can compile but it comes with tradeoffs, updates every year tho so can only get better 🤷‍♂️

[@hakuryyuu]

Blazor is great, been working with it for some time now.

[@jamesvelopmenthagood8998]

Blazor seems like it should be a decent product. I have never used it but the concept seems solid.

[@lemurza5236]

Finally a decent UI framework
