Smart.Blazor 9.2.1

Smart.Blazor Component Library

Smart Blazor Components is a commercial set of 60+ 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. <Button>Click Me</Button> If you are using client-side WebAssembly Blazor also add the following code to your .csproj file (after the closing RazorLangVersion element): <BlazorLinkOnBuild>false</BlazorLinkOnBuild>

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.
