Spot-on with the WASM comments! Two projects to save the user a few microseconds of pain at initial load is hard to justify for most scenarios, but it's great to see Microsoft putting so much resource and developments into Blazor. The Auto mode is great to see, but not viable in production, IMHO. Suspect it'll be iterated down to having a single project in future releases. For me it'll be Server mode all the way, and Razor components shoving cshtml aside is another nice tidying up exercise. I have one MVC site in maintenance, and I think that'll be replaced with SSR for the most part, so at long last I can leave WebForms and MVC and focus on one framework. Great video - thank you!

One thing that would be cool to see added to Blazor is something like asp-append-version where it appends a hash in a query string for cache-busting of assets in script and link tags.

I am going to agree with something here: webassembly is not looking good in the programing model. To be honest I like what they have done with Blazor as it simplifies a lot of code that needed an RPC "API", but the webassembly part is becoming crumble some unless you go to full SPA (the same can be say for the server side interactivity) I am seeing things like HTMX as the real companion to the updated programing model, especially now we can render blazor components "anywhere" and deliver them through minimal API. Personally, I am moving an SPA webassembly to server side to webassembly interactivity and so far, I find it simpler than having an RPC API for everything. Definitely going to try HTMX in the mix at some point, perhaps I can end diching webassembly...which will be funny as it was the part that brought the most interest to blazor

HTMX is definitely something that I will also take a look at.Thanks for sharing!

How do you use blazor and htmx both? For htmx isnt all you need: razor page, the new render function and a minimal api?
@XXnickles10 ай бұрын
@@dustee2680 I am in initial phases of playing with that stack. I am using blazor SSR, minimal api and the rendering function they introduced in net 8. The idea of the api is respond with rendered blazor components (html) instead of json. Still you need to use js for interactivity and you need to rely in standard HTML forms for data and validation

Hi, my questions are: -SSR is the new default mode for blazor apps, so the old server mode interactivity should be used only when I need interactivity and don't want to download code in the client? -the auto mode should be used always, I mean it has the best world of all two old modes, or should be used when there is at least a component with interactivity? Should I always start with the automode project that create two different projects? -should I choose automode over old blazor server mode even there isn't interactivity? Thanks in advance.

It would be great to see how you can have multiple constructors in the dbcontext and use adddbcontextfactory. At the moment it says you cant have multiple constructors when adding migrations.... But it works with adddbcontext()

For me too many changes to what I thought was a solid foundation developers could build on. With the way Blazor is going the learning time outweighs actual productivity time. With the likes of Angular this is not the case, new functionalities are a subtle introduction. However I think I'll stick with the API/Blazor Wasm model for the time being until I can afford the time to re-learn Blazor for what it is now.

Blazor WASM and Blazor Server still exist in .NET 8. So, if you want you can still create projects using old hosting model. But I would stronglt advise against it, ast the new Blazor seems to be the main focus on Microsoft right now and probably the older hosting models will get less attention in the future.

@@Codewrinkles I agree that the "new" Blazor will likely be Microsoft's focus, but I'm still not convinced that a pure wasm solution doesn't make sense in some scenarios - LOB apps, for example. I had really good luck with wasm in .net 5/6, so it is somewhat disheartening to see that perhaps the wasm model is either being deprecated or shunned. I also agree with you that mixing render modes and adding a second project seems less than ideal, to say the least.

I am a bit confused with the identity feature. So far I’ve used azure aadb2c in my .net 7 blazor apps. Am I supposed to use this new identity components? Do they connect to aadb2c? Or should keep using b2c as usual? What is the difference here? If you could elaborate a bit i’d appreciate it, i’m quite confused. Thanks a lot!

First off, thank you very much for your videos. Is there any chance I can get you to figure out or tell us how we can add dynamic content to the PageTitle in Dotnet8? Adding something like in forecasts.Count() or int Count() => return forecasts.Count(); does not update the PageTitle. I tried adding @rendermode="InteractiveServer" to the pagetitle component, but it must be a different rendermode I need to add there. Any hints, tips or insight? It seems like this breaks what we could do i .net7.

The webassembly hate is a bit harmful and not at all helpful. If you don't need it, don't use it. How hard is that? I work in a space where I'm often developing offline-available web applications that later need to synchronize with a server as a user goes in and out of areas with limited internet connectivity. Seeing technologies like this be developed and included in the latest framework offerings is encouraging to me. In the scenarios I'm working in, I'd almost never choose SSR as it would rarely if ever satisfy my needs. You don't see me out here calling it the ugly jerk cousin nobody wants to invite to thanksgiving though. Different workplaces have different needs and the world doesn't revolve around you. I don't care if you're working at the biggest tech company on the planet.

I'm not sure it's about replicating NextJs. I've worked with the NextJS appRouter and I agree that adding interactivity there is much easier with just "use-client". On the other side I think that the Interactive Server Mode is a winner for Blazor, because it makes things more secure and easier to process on the backend without the need of an API. Also the StreamRendering is definitely a winner and something that's not there in NextJs.
