Expanding the Potential Features of Blazor
ARKA incorporate potential features of Blazor to provide flexible and custom Blazor solutions for complex business needs.
Component-based Web UIs
Blazor Components are basic building block, which provides ability to write rich web User Interfaces experience using HTML, CSS, and C# instead of JavaScript. These are flexible and lightweight components used multiple times for many roles.
Data Binding
Blazor is a SPA framework which offers data binding capabilities to bind components and DOM elements via an HTML Bind attribute with a field, property, or Razor expression value. Blazor provides one way, two way and Event binding data binding.
Debugging
Microsoft has offered debugging support for Blazor WebAssembly applications, where Browse Dev tool could be used in Chromium based browsers. It also supports application debugging via Visual Studio IDE and Visual Studio code.
Dependency Injection
It is a method which helps developers to create a loosely coupled application design, because it offers greater reusability, testability, and maintainability. Blazor offers Dependency injection method in both the Blazor WebAssembly app and Server.
Forms and Validations
Blazor offers Data annotations as a part of Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework and it also provides support for validating form input using data annotations with the help of a built-in DataAnnotationsValidator. This makes the form validation process a breeze.
JavaScript Interoperability
The Blazor comes with a unique ability to call JavaScript functions from .NET methods and vice versa. This distinct feature is known as JavaScript interoperability, where Blazor uses JavaScript to bootstrap the .NET runtime and in process can access JavaScript libraries.
Routing
Routing is a critical aspect of any Web application. It is indeed a pattern matching process through which requests are routed to the relevant code as defined in the route. Blazor offers a client-end dedicated router along with a router component that handles routing process.
State Management
Applications developed by Blazor Server are stateful and provide abilities to preserve user's state in server's memory. Developers can utilize this unique ability of client-end state management via local and session storage along with query strings.
Our Blazor Expertise
Hosting Models of Blazor
Blazor WebAssembly
It is a Client-side hosting model which offers developers a flexibility to develop Client-end applications using C#, which can function directly in the browser via WebAssembly. Every critical component like compiled application code, .NET runtime and all the dependencies are downloaded in the browser itself, which helps application to be execute in the browser User interface thread itself. It offers rapid development due to its rich IntelliSense and tooling support. Blazor applications can be deployed as static websites and we can build offline capable PWA’s as Blazor WebAssembly application can function at client-side without any dependency of connection to the server.
- Social Media Networking Portals
- Advances eCommerce solutions
- Online Gaming and Entertainment portals
- High end B2B and B2C portals
- Native Desktop and Mobile Applications
- Progressive web applications
Blazor Server
It is a server-side hosting model where the application can be executed on the server itself, right inside an ASP.NET Core application. Its runtime handles the transmission of UI events from the browser to the server and executes UI updates sent by the server back to the browser. Blazor embraces the single page application architecture which rewrites the same page dynamically in response to the user action. It allows application to load faster as the downloadable packets are smaller than a usual Blazor WebAssembly application. The application can enjoy full potential of server capabilities, including usage of any .NET Core compatible APIs. It is more secure because the application code remains on the server, not downloaded to the client.

FAQ for Blazor development services
Blazor is an innovative framework developed by Microsoft, that utilizes next generation component model which enables the developers to build SPA (Single Page Applications) without JavaScript. This framework is developed on the .NET, and it run inside any browser via WebAssembly. It is based on CSS, HTML, and other standard web technologies.
In a typical Blazor Server-Side model, the Blazor application is implemented on the server from an ASP.NET Core application. Important functions such as event handling, JavaScript calls, and UI updates and handled over a SignalR connection.
In the Blazer WebAssembly Client-side model the Blazor application, the .NET runtime, and its dependencies are downloaded to the browser. The application is then executed directly via the browser User Interface thread. It also allows event handling and User Interface updates inside the same process.
No, a Blazor application consists of several compiled .NET assemblies, that execute in a web browser via a WebAssembly based .NET runtime environment. Only a .NET runtime is compiled to WebAssembly.
Blazor supports the following features of a SPA (Single Page App) framework:
- A well build component model for composable UI development
- Routing and Layouts
- Forms and validation
- Server-side rendering
- Rich tooling and IntelliSense
- Dependency injection
- JavaScript interop ability
- Live reloading in the browser
- Full .NET debugging both in browsers and in the IDE
This can’t be predicted as of now, because Blazor is still in its initial phase and it is establishing itself as an alternative to the JavaScript technology. However, it has a long way to cover before becoming a worthy competitor of JavaScript.
Blazor supports multiple platforms such as Windows, macOS, Linux, Cloud, and several other Web platforms where Blazor applications can functions seamlessly. It supports both server-side and client-side application and functioning.
A Route is a URL pattern and Routing is a pattern matching process which monitors the client-server requests and determines how to execute them. Blazor Server application utilizes ASP.net Core Endpoint Routing, which uses MapBlazorHub extension endpoint routing to accept the incoming connections. The Blazor client application offers the client-side Routing service.
Authorization is an important process, that validates the access and rights of an end-user over an application resource. It helps us to control user access over resources based on policies, roles, and claims. Blazor utilizes the ASP.NET Core authorization method provide end-to-end authorization service to the built-in components.
Blazor WebAssembly application can be debugged using the browser development tools. We can also use Visual Studio and Visual Studio code to debug the application and remove the errors.
Yes. We can utilize C# and .NET to write server-side code, while Blazor WebAssembly can be used to develop the front-end User Interface.
