MatBlazor VS MudBlazor

Hello! I've planned out my project solution such that I own my views separate from my client application. Unfortunately, after upgrading to .NET 5.0 I'm no longer able to reference projects with my views. My setup is like how it is done here: MatBlazor/src at master · SamProf/MatBlazor (github.com) Views are shared between the Blazor Server and Blazor Client projects - both components and routing components (pages). ​ I'm getting the following error: BLAZORSDK1001 The project references the ASP.NET Core shared framework, which is not supported by Blazor WebAssembly apps. Remove the framework reference if directly ⠀referenced, or the package reference that adds the framework reference. REDACTED C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\5.0.103\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.BlazorWebAssembly\targets\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.BlazorWebAssembly.Current.targets 635 ​ * Is it even possible to accomplish this for the new WASM Blazor version? * If yes, how can I accomplish this? ​ WASM Client and routable components project settings

No, but you can use the MatBlazor/src/MatBlazor.Demo.ClientApp at master · SamProf/MatBlazor (github.com) project as reference. My project is based on the same concept. After migrating the client application to .NET 5, you should get the error

Though I can't develop beautiful UI and good UX even if my life depended on it. I can write a functional front-end, but don't expect it to be pretty. I usually ask for assistance regarding that from our UX designers instead where they essentially layout the whole UI (either on figma or Photoshop) so I just need to make it functional. Component based frameworks these days (JS, and Blazor) really helps at least. The UX guys usually make sharable base components that the company needs (buttons, grids, etc...), which includes all the styling and animations and we use those instead to create decent looking UI. For personal stuff I use MudBlazor which kinda does the same, but I do know a bit of css to customize when needed.

There are a ton of component libraries out there. I like the mudblazor library. https://mudblazor.com

There are grid controls from the usual commercial vendors like Radzen and Telerik. I used them briefly during a free trial. It has a funny name, but MudBlazor [1] has been the MIT licensed library I have been using lately. I have been using their Table control, which may be what you are looking for in a data grid.

It seems to be a known issue a known issue. By default, external libraries such as MudBlazor are not trimmed

I recommend Mud blazor if you're going for Material design. For other design languages Andt Blazor's pretty polished and there's Blazorise as well if you want to be flexible (it supports Antd, Bulma, Bootstrap and Material via configuration).

The ones I've used that's pretty good are MudBlazor (Material Design), Antd blazor (Antd), and Blazorise (Multi design support via configuration). There's also the newly announced Fluent UI for Blazor at MS build that's from MS themselves but I haven't tried it yet.

There's Uno that's been talked about by MS community standups if you wanna use UWP XAML to do the Job. If you wanted to use Blazor though, you'll have to at least learn a bit of CSS and Html. Luckily you can find really nice component libraries like mudblazor that does a lot of the nitty gritty html + styling for you. So you'll just have to use their components most of the time and with little to no JS required (depending in your usecase).
