Render Modes (.NET 8+)
| Mode | Description | Use For |
|---|---|---|
InteractiveServer |
Server-side via SignalR | Internal apps, real-time |
InteractiveWebAssembly |
Client-side WASM | Offline, no server dependency |
InteractiveAuto |
Server first, then WASM | Best of both worlds |
| Static SSR (default) | No interactivity | Content pages, SEO |
@* Page-level render mode *@
@rendermode InteractiveServer
@* Component-level *@
<Counter @rendermode="InteractiveWebAssembly" />
Component Pattern
@* Counter.razor *@
<h3>Counter</h3>
<p>Count: @count</p>
<button @onclick="Increment">Click me</button>
@code {
private int count = 0;
[Parameter]
public int InitialCount { get; set; } = 0;
[Parameter]
public EventCallback<int> OnCountChanged { get; set; }
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
count = InitialCount;
}
private async Task Increment()
{
count++;
await OnCountChanged.InvokeAsync(count);
}
}
Forms with Validation
<EditForm Model="user" FormName="UserForm">
<DataAnnotationsValidator />
<ValidationSummary />
<InputText @bind-Value="user.Name" class="form-control" />
<ValidationMessage For="@(() => user.Name)" />
<InputText @bind-Value="user.Email" class="form-control" />
<ValidationMessage For="@(() => user.Email)" />
<button type="submit">Save</button>
</EditForm>
@code {
[SupplyParameterFromForm]
private UserModel user { get; set; } = new();
private async Task HandleSubmit()
{
await UserService.CreateAsync(user);
Navigation.NavigateTo("/users");
}
}
JavaScript Interop
@inject IJSRuntime JS
@code {
private async Task ShowAlert()
{
await JS.InvokeVoidAsync("alert", "Hello from Blazor!");
}
private async Task<string> GetValue()
{
return await JS.InvokeAsync<string>("localStorage.getItem", "key");
}
}
Dependency Injection
@inject IUserService UserService
@inject NavigationManager Navigation
@inject ILogger<UserList> Logger
Anti-Patterns
| Anti-Pattern | Why It's Bad | Correct Approach |
|---|---|---|
| InteractiveServer for public sites | Latency, scaling | Use Auto or WASM |
| Large WASM downloads | Slow initial load | Use Auto mode |
| Direct DOM manipulation | Breaks diffing | Use Blazor bindings |
| Not disposing JS interop | Memory leaks | Implement IAsyncDisposable |
Quick Troubleshooting
| Issue | Likely Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Component not interactive | Missing render mode | Add @rendermode directive |
| JS interop fails | WASM restriction | Use IJSRuntime correctly |
| State lost on navigation | No state container | Use cascading parameters or DI |
| Pre-rendering flicker | Async data on init | Use OnInitializedAsync with loading state |
