Smart.Blazor Component Library

Smart Blazor Components is a commercial set of 70+ Blazor UI controls. Both server-side and client-side.

Getting Started

Create a new Blazor App

To start building .NET apps, download and install the .NET SDK (Software Development Kit).

• Check everything installed correctly

Once you've installed, open a new command prompt and run the following command:

dotnet

If the command runs, printing out information about how to use dotnet, you're good to go.

• Got an error?

If you receive a 'dotnet' is not recognized as an internal or external command error, make sure you opened a new command prompt

• The Blazor framework provides templates to develop apps for each of the Blazor hosting models:

Blazor WebAssembly (blazorwasm)

dotnet new blazorwasm -o BlazorApp

Blazor Server (blazorserver)

dotnet new blazorserver -o BlazorServerApp

Installation

Smart.Blazor Components are distributed as the Smart.Blazor Nuget package. You can use any of the following options:

• Install the package from command line by running dotnet add package Smart.Blazor.

• Alternatively, you can add the project from the Visual Nuget Package Manager.

• Edit the .csproj file and add a project reference

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net5.0</TargetFramework>
    <RootNamespace>BlazorApp</RootNamespace>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Smart.Blazor" Version="8.1.3" />
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>

Import the Smart.Blazor namespace.

Open the _Imports.razor file of your Blazor application and add @using Smart.Blazor

Set a Theme

Open the _Host.cshtml file (server-side Blazor) or wwwroot/index.html (client-side WebAssembly Blazor) and include a theme CSS file by adding this snippet

<link href="_content/Smart.Blazor/css/smart.default.css" rel="stylesheet" />

You can include 14+ additional CSS themes for the Controls - 7 dark and 7 light themes.

Source files

Open the _Host.cshtml file (server-side Blazor) or wwwroot/index.html (client-side WebAssembly Blazor) and include this snippet

<script src="_content/Smart.Blazor/js/smart.blazor.js"></script>
<script src="_content/Smart.Blazor/js/smart.elements.js"></script>

If you would like to use only a specific component, instead of referring the smart.elements.js, you can refer the component like that:

<script type="module" src="_content/Smart.Blazor/js/modules/smart.table.js"></script>

Registrations

Blazor WebAssembly

This step is mandatory for Blazor WebAssembly(client-side) and also for ASP.NET Core hosted project types. You should place the code into the Program.cs of your client project

using System;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Hosting;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using Smart.Blazor;

namespace BlazorApp
{
    public class Program
    {
	public static async Task Main(string[] args)
	{
	    var builder = WebAssemblyHostBuilder.CreateDefault(args);
	    builder.RootComponents.Add<App>("#app");

	    builder.Services.AddSmart();
	    builder.Services.AddScoped(sp => new HttpClient { BaseAddress = new Uri(builder.HostEnvironment.BaseAddress) });

	    await builder.Build().RunAsync();
	}
    }
}

Blazor Server

This step is going only into the Startup.cs of your Blazor Server project. You will need to add services.AddSmart(); in the ConfigureServices method and using Smart.Blazor; in the using statements.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.HttpsPolicy;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;
using BlazorApp.Data;
using Smart.Blazor;

namespace BlazorApp
{
    public class Startup
    {
        public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
        {
            Configuration = configuration;
        }

        public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }

        // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
        // For more information on how to configure your application, visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=398940
        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.AddRazorPages();
            services.AddServerSideBlazor();
            services.AddSingleton<WeatherForecastService>();
	    services.AddSmart();
	   }

        // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
        public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
        {
            if (env.IsDevelopment())
            {
                app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
            }
            else
            {
                app.UseExceptionHandler("/Error");
                // The default HSTS value is 30 days. You may want to change this for production scenarios, see https://aka.ms/aspnetcore-hsts.
                app.UseHsts();
            }

            app.UseHttpsRedirection();
            app.UseStaticFiles();

            app.UseRouting();

            app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
            {
                endpoints.MapBlazorHub();
                endpoints.MapFallbackToPage("/_Host");
            });
        }
    }
}

Using Smart.Blazor Components

Use any Smart Blazor component by typing its tag name in a Blazor page e.g. Click Me If you are using client-side WebAssembly Blazor also add the following code to your .csproj file (after the closing RazorLangVersion element): false

Data binding a property

<Input Value="@text"></Input>
@code {
	string text = " Hi from Smart!";
}

Events Handing

<Calendar id="calendar" OnChange=@OnChange></Calendar>
<div class="options">
	<div class="caption">Events</div>
	<div class="option" id="log">
	@eventLog
	</div>
</div>

@code {
	private string eventLog;

	private void OnChange(Event eventObj)
	{
		CalendarChangeEventDetail detail = eventObj\[" Detail & quot;\];

		eventLog = detail.Value\[0\].ToString();
	}
}

Alternatively you can do that:

@page "/calendar"

<Calendar OnReady="OnReady" id="calendar" ></Calendar>
<div class="options">
	<div class="caption">Events</div>
	<div class="option" id="log">
	@eventLog
	</div>
</div>


@code {
	private string eventLog;

	private void OnReady(Calendar calendar)
	{
		calendar.Changed += delegate (object sender, CalendarChangedEventArgs args)
		{
			string value = args.Value\[0\].ToString();
			eventLog = value;
			StateHasChanged();
		};
	}
}

• OnReady callback is called for each Blazor component, after it is initialized and rendered.
• StateHasChanged Notifies the component that its state has changed. When applicable, this will cause the component to be re-rendered.
• AddClass Adds a CSS class to the component.
• RemoveClass Removes a CSS class from the component.
• IsDirty Sets or gets that the component's state is dirty. On the next render, the component will be re-rendered.
• Task<T> GetProperty<T>(string propertyName) - Gets a property by its name.
• SetProperty<T>(string propertyName, T value) - Sets a property.
