MudBlazor VS Blazorise

Taking a quick look at the MudBlazor environment https://mudblazor.com/, we thought it would be interesting to put a TeeChart in there.

Now do the same using Blazor Server (C#). For convenience use https://www.fluentui-blazor.net/ or https://mudblazor.com/ for your UI components.

It has it's compromises but it's great for just building stuff, with UI updates streamed to the client, no JS (or as much as you want), no extra API building just for the sake of your SPA. Note that I'm not talking about Blazor WASM.

If you're interested in working as a developer for corporations outside of the SF bubble (e.g. the other 80% that use Windows instead of macOS) it's worth checking out, especially for internal corporate stuff.

I recently started doing some front-end stuff using C# with Blazor [0]. As UI component library I'm using MudBlazor [1].

I think it's very easy to create a beautiful app this way. You can still use CSS if you want, but don't really need it to start out.

If you want to style an app, just adjust a couple of colors (primary, secondary, surface, background, ...) of the theme and the app looks quite different already. I believe the color scheme is based on Material design, as such, many (shades of) colors will be automatically calculated based on the couple of colors you choose.

Of course you can also change fonts, icon font, etcetera to further customize the app.

The best thing about this approach from my POV is that you don't have to deal with much JavaScript, CSS, HTML ... (though the option is still there when needed).

I don't think that new Identity pages will work with MudBlazor out of the box. Take a look at this GitHub issue: https://github.com/MudBlazor/MudBlazor/issues/7805

The Blazor Server application uses the open source component MudBlazor, which I recommend to C# oriented developers. To keep the application simple, all data is stored in JSON files.

You could use Mudblazor and Codebeam Mud extensions.

Look up some Blazor UI / Component Libraries.Awesome-Blazor lists the more popular ones. The two I recommend are Mudblazor and Havit Blazor because the documentation is built using Blazor and the repos are open source on GitHub.

I made a Blazor component library for one of my personal projects that failed, but the component library lived on as an open-source project called Blazorise [1].

In late 2019, I got a well-paid job in a large local company because of the project reference. Unfortunately, COVID happened, and I lost that same job after a few months. So again, because of Blazorise, I got several other gigs as a freelancer.

But after a while, it was hard to do all the work on the projects and do freelance jobs at the same time. Not to mention that family time was also very limited.

So I decided to commercially license Blazorise to companies, and keep it free for individuals. Hopefully, the decision paid off. Today I run a small company and continue to work on Blazorise full time. We're still fully bootstraped without any external funds.

https://blazorise.com is fully done on Blazor. Also the support forum https://blazorise.com/support

Da, vidi https://blazorise.com/

I am working on form that run dynamic sql query in database and populates the results in datagrid. I don't know how many columns will return by the query. So I populate my resuts in DataTable, but unable to display on datagrid. Relevant issue [Feature] Full featured work with DataTable in DataGrid · Issue #701 · Megabit/Blazorise (github.com) . Does anyone know workaround for this.

Making Blazor run on Linux was a lot of hard work. Mainly because there is no official support from Microsoft (but even that doesn't always help, as you will see in the next section about macOS). I tried to make it work with 3 different community driven projects: Electron.NET, Chromely and Photino. Electron is very bloated and very slow - it takes for ever to start debugging from Visual Studio. I also hated that it first opens a console window and then the Blazor window. I don't want to see 2 windows open. Chromely also first opens a console window and then the Blazor window. I couldn't make it work in Linux. That leaves Photino. It comes with a Blazor sample that works in Linux without a problem. But my project didn't work in Linux with Photino. I found out that the problem was loading content for https://github.com/Megabit/Blazorise from the \wwwroot\_content folder. I sumbitted a GitHub issue and the problem was fixed in Photino.Blazor v2.5.0

I did something similar with Blazorise, a personal project of mine, https://blazorise.com/. It started as a hobby project. After some time it grew too large that it took most of my time, not to mention the time I could spend with my wife and son. Things changed during the Covid when I was laid off. Then I started freelancing for a while, and last year I finally took a big step and went full-time with Blazorise. Switched to dual licensing, where larger enterprises must purchase a commercial license. It is working, and hopefully, it will continue to work. Or otherwise, my wife will rage on me :/

My guess is that they're using component libraries (like Blazorise) rather than write components themselves.
