ant-design-blazor VS awesome-blazor

AntBlazor has a pretty comprehensive set of components, and fairly active.

AntBlazor is the best for me. You can try.

Personally I prefer AntBlazor. AntBlazor

I did some charting work for an internal Blazor tool. I ended up using AntBlazor. I did have to go around their Blazor tool and use the JS project as I had to use it in a certain way. If you're confused on how a component is made - I just looked at their github repo and learned! Sometimes they'll base class a lot of things but it was in some cases easy enough to use and replicate.

I see that page points me to the default.less for Ant Design. I assume the analogous file for AntBlazor is this default.less file.

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).

Since everyone is advertising their preferred component library, I will chime in and say a few good words about AntBlazor. I think this is the fastest developing component library, especially when you compare how alive the development is compared to other open source libraries. Also, it has a ready made Pro template. I think it is one of the most feature rich component library. Go check it out :).

Since I don’t know what theme constraints you might have, I’d check out this and go to the ‘Component Bundles’ section under ‘Libraries and Extensions’. There are some good open source component libraries that should offer at least one good date picker alternative that you could drop in for the licensed one causing you issues.

Querying a (MySQL) database can be done in multiple ways in .NET, I usually prefer to use Entity Framework Core. For components, I like to use the MudBlazor component library. It also has an autocomplete component. If you want to look at different options for Blazor libraries/components(and more) you can take a look at this awesome collection.

Anyhow, there are a few similar sites at https://blazorschool.com/ and https://blazor-university.com/ , and if you're serious about it there are a ton of resources catalogued at https://github.com/AdrienTorris/awesome-blazor

https://github.com/AdrienTorris/awesome-blazor, specifically under the Libraries & Extensions section.

It is usually true that Microsoft's documentation falls behind their implementations, but it does eventually catch up. But this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/blazor/?view=aspnetcore-6.0 isn't all that bad. There are a lot of resources here https://github.com/AdrienTorris/awesome-blazor too.
