.NET MAUI Blazor Toolkit

This toolkit a set of fluent helper methods and classes to simplify working with .NET MAUI Blazor in C#.

This toolkit depends on Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebView.Maui NuGet package.

Most useful method will be Configure, which can be invoked on an instance of a BlazorWebView and its derivatives, and it simplifies the initialization of BlazorWebView into a single fluent method call as shown in the below sample.

Note: Gateway is a Razor component and assumes it can receive a parameter named Foo as described in the sample underneath.

namespace MyApp;

public class HomePage : ContentPage
{
    public HomePage()
    {
        // A BlazorWebView can manage multiple RootComponents, to achieve this, define another Tuple with values of that component
        // The method and Tuple parameter names are shown for clarity and it's optional
        // Blazor component can have initialization parameters, which can be supplied thro parameters, a dictionary of keyValues
        // where key is of type string and value is of type object

        // Without initialization parameters
        Content = new BlazorWebView().Configure(hostPage: "wwwroot/index.html", (selector: "#app", componentType: typeof(Gateway), parameters: null));

        // With optional initialization parameters
        Content = new BlazorWebView().Configure(hostPage: "wwwroot/index.html", (selector: "#app", componentType: typeof(Gateway), parameters: new Dictionary<string, object?> { [nameof(Gateway.Foo)] = "Bar" }));

        // In a much simplified form - Real intended usage
        // Without initialization parameters
        Content = new BlazorWebView().Configure("wwwroot/index.html", ("#app", typeof(Gateway), null));

        // With StartPath property introduced in .NET 8 Preview, overloaded Configure method
        // Assuming search is the page with which the app is intended to start
        Content = new BlazorWebView().Configure("wwwroot/index.html", "/search", ("#app", typeof(Gateway), null));

        // With optional initialization parameters
        Content = new BlazorWebView().Configure("wwwroot/index.html", ("#app", typeof(Gateway), new Dictionary<string, object?> { [nameof(Gateway.Foo)] = "Bar" }));
    }
}
