Size Mode for Blazor Components

29 Nov 20246 minutes to read

Syncfusion^® Blazor components supports touch (bigger theme) and normal size modes. The following topics explain how to enable the same in your application.

Size mode for application

You can enable touch mode (bigger theme) for an application by adding .e-bigger class in ~/wwwroot/css/app.css or site.css file ou your Blazor App and assign to the body as follows,

For Blazor Web App, assign .e-bigger class to body element of ~/Components/App.razor file.
For Blazor WebAssembly application, assign .e-bigger class to body element of wwwroot/index.html file.
For Blazor Server application, assign .e-bigger class to body element of
- ~/Pages/_Host.cshtml file for .NET 7.
- ~/Pages/_Layout.cshtml file for .NET 6.

~/wwwroot/css/app.css or site.css
.e-bigger {
    font-size: x-large;
}

<body class="e-bigger">
...
</body>

Size mode for a control

You can enable touch mode (bigger theme) for a control by adding .e-bigger class and assign to the div which contains the control.

If you create Blazor web App with interactivity location as Per page/component, make ensure the define a render mode at the top of the Syncfusion^® Blazor Component included page, as follows:

RAZOR

@* Your app render mode define here *@
@rendermode InteractiveAuto

@page "/"

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars;
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons;
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Popups;

<div class="e-bigger">
    <SfCalendar TValue="DateTime?" Value="@DateValue"></SfCalendar>
</div>

<div class="e-bigger">
    <SfButton> Button </SfButton>
</div>

<div class="e-bigger">
    <SfCheckBox Label="checked" @bind-Checked="isChecked"></SfCheckBox>
</div>

<style>
    .e-bigger {
        font-size: x-large;
    }
</style>

@code {
    private bool isChecked = true;
    public DateTime? DateValue { get; set; } = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, 28);
}

Change size mode for application at runtime

You can change the size mode of an application between touch and normal (mouse) mode at runtime by adding and removing .e-bigger using JavaScriptInterop.

Follow below steps to change the size mode for an application at runtime.

Add the e-bigger CSS class in the ~/wwwroot/css/app.css or site.css file.
```
 .e-bigger {
     font-size: x-large;
 }
```

Add the following JavaScript methods inside the script tag of ~/Components/App.razor(Blazor Web App) or wwwroot/index.html (Blazor WebAssembly App) or Pages/_Host.cshtml (Blazor Server App) to switch between touch and mouse mode using e-bigger class.

 <script>
     function onTouch() {
         document.body.classList.add('e-bigger');
     }

     function onMouse() {
         document.body.classList.remove('e-bigger');
     }
  </script>

To call JavaScript method from .NET, inject the IJSRuntime abstraction and call InvokeAsync method as given in the below code,

 @page "/"

 @using Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars;
 @using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons;
 @using Syncfusion.Blazor.Popups
 @inject IJSRuntime jsRuntime;

 <button @onclick="callOnMouse">Mouse Mode</button>
 <div>
     <SfCalendar TValue="DateTime?" Value="@DateValue"></SfCalendar>
 </div>

 <div>
     <SfButton> Button </SfButton>
 </div>

 <div>
     <SfCheckBox Label="checked" @bind-Checked="isChecked"></SfCheckBox>
  </div>

 @code {
     private bool isChecked = true;
     public DateTime? DateValue { get; set; } = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, 28);
     private async void callOnTouch(MouseEventArgs args)
     {
        await jsRuntime.InvokeAsync<string>("onTouch");
     }
     private async void callOnMouse(MouseEventArgs args)
     {
         await jsRuntime.InvokeAsync<string>("onMouse");
     }
 }

Change size mode for a control at runtime

You can change the size mode of a control between touch and normal (mouse) mode at runtime by setting .e-bigger CSS class.

Refer to the following code, where the e-bigger class is added to enable touch mode using the OnTouch method.

@page "/"

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars;
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons;
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Popups;

<h2>Syncfusion Component Size-Modes</h2>

<button @onclick="OnTouch">Touch Mode</button>
<button @onclick="OnMouse">Mouse Mode</button>

<div class="@touchCSS">
    <SfCalendar TValue="DateTime?" Value="@DateValue"></SfCalendar>
</div>

<div class="@touchCSS">
    <SfButton> Button </SfButton>
</div>

<div class="@touchCSS">
    <SfCheckBox Label="checked" @bind-Checked="isChecked"></SfCheckBox>
</div>

<style>
    .e-bigger {
        font-size: x-large;
    }
</style>

@code {
    private bool isChecked = true;

    public DateTime? DateValue { get; set; } = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, 28);

    public string touchCSS { get; set; }

    public void OnTouch()
    {
        touchCSS = "e-bigger";
    }

    public void OnMouse()
    {
        touchCSS = "";
    }
}
