MudBlazor Skill

MudBlazor provides Material Design components for Blazor. VanDaemon uses MudBlazor 6.x for touch-optimized interfaces designed for mobile devices in camper van environments. Key patterns include real-time data binding with SignalR, responsive layouts, and dark/light theme support.

Quick Start

Basic Page Layout

@page "/dashboard"
@inject HttpClient Http

<MudContainer MaxWidth="MaxWidth.Large" Class="mt-4">
    <MudPaper Class="pa-4">
        <MudText Typo="Typo.h4">Tank Levels</MudText>
        <MudGrid>
            @foreach (var tank in tanks)
            {
                <MudItem xs="12" sm="6" md="4">
                    <MudCard>
                        <MudCardContent>
                            <MudText>@tank.Name</MudText>
                            <MudProgressLinear Value="@tank.CurrentLevel" Color="Color.Primary" />
                        </MudCardContent>
                    </MudCard>
                </MudItem>
            }
        </MudGrid>
    </MudPaper>
</MudContainer>

Touch-Optimized Control

<MudSwitch @bind-Value="@control.IsOn"
           Color="Color.Success"
           Size="Size.Large"
           Label="@control.Name"
           @onclick="() => ToggleControl(control.Id)" />

<MudSlider @bind-Value="@dimmerValue"
           Min="0" Max="255"
           Step="1"
           Color="Color.Primary"
           Size="Size.Large"
           ValueLabel="true"
           @onchange="() => UpdateDimmer()" />

Key Concepts

Common Patterns

Real-Time Data Binding

When: Displaying SignalR-updated values

@code {
    private double tankLevel;

    protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync()
    {
        hubConnection.On<Guid, double, string>("TankLevelUpdated", (id, level, name) =>
        {
            tankLevel = level;
            InvokeAsync(StateHasChanged);  // Required for SignalR callbacks
        });
    }
}

Responsive Grid

When: Building dashboard layouts

<MudGrid Spacing="3">
    <MudItem xs="12" sm="6" md="4" lg="3">
        <!-- Full width on mobile, half on tablet, quarter on desktop -->
    </MudItem>
</MudGrid>
