Introducing Blazor Hybrid App Development

In .NET MAUI, an alternative approach to constructing the user interface (UI) is by using Blazor. Blazor, a modern web framework developed by Microsoft, allows developers to create interactive web applications utilizing C# and Razor syntax instead of JavaScript. Additionally, Blazor can be employed in the development of .NET MAUI applications as part of a Blazor Hybrid app. The fundamental building blocks of Blazor are Razor components, which can be reused between native and web applications when utilizing Blazor and Blazor Hybrid. In comparison to XAML UIs, a Blazor UI offers increased reusability, encompassing both native and web applications. In this chapter, we will provide an introduction to Blazor and discuss its implementation in various scenarios. Additionally, we will introduce Razor components and explain how to develop a Blazor Hybrid app using these components.

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:
