16 Feb 20245 minutes to read

This section briefly explains about how to include Blazor Chip component in your Blazor Web App using Visual Studio.

Prerequisites

System requirements for Blazor components

Create a new Blazor Web App

You can create a Blazor Web App using Visual Studio 2022 via Microsoft Templates or the Syncfusion Blazor Extension.

You need to configure the corresponding Interactive render mode and Interactivity location while creating a Blazor Web Application.

Install Syncfusion Blazor Buttons and Themes NuGet in the Blazor Web App

To add Blazor Chip component in the app, open the NuGet package manager in Visual Studio (Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Manage NuGet Packages for Solution), search and install Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons and Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes.

If you utilize WebAssembly or Auto render modes in the Blazor Web App need to be install Syncfusion Blazor components NuGet packages within the client project.

Alternatively, you can utilize the following package manager command to achieve the same.

Package Manager
Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons -Version 27.2.2
Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes -Version 27.2.2

NOTE

Syncfusion Blazor components are available in nuget.org. Refer to NuGet packages topic for available NuGet packages list with component details.

Register Syncfusion Blazor Service

Open ~/_Imports.razor file and import the Syncfusion.Blazor and Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons namespace.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons

Now, register the Syncfusion Blazor Service in the ~/Program.cs file of your Blazor Web App. For a app with WebAssembly or Auto (Server and WebAssembly) interactive render mode, register the Syncfusion Blazor service in both ~/Program.cs files of your web app.

....
using Syncfusion.Blazor;
....
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();
....

Add stylesheet and script resources

The theme stylesheet and script can be accessed from NuGet through Static Web Assets. Include the stylesheet reference in the <head> section and the script reference at the end of the <body> in the ~/Components/App.razor file as shown below:

<head>
    ....
    <link href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes/bootstrap5.css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
....
<body>
    ....
    <script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Core/scripts/syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body>

NOTE

Check out the Blazor Themes topic to discover various methods (Static Web Assets, CDN, and CRG) for referencing themes in your Blazor application. Also, check out the Adding Script Reference topic to learn different approaches for adding script references in your Blazor application.

Add Syncfusion Blazor Chip component

Add the Syncfusion Blazor Chip component in .razor file inside the Pages folder. If an interactivity location as Per page/component in the web app, define a render mode at top of the component, as follows:

RAZOR

@* desired render mode define here *@
@rendermode InteractiveAuto

RAZOR
<SfChip>
    <ChipItems>
        <ChipItem Text="Janet Leverling"></ChipItem>
    </ChipItems>
</SfChip>

Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or ⌘+F5 (macOS) to launch the application. This will render the Syncfusion Blazor Chip component in your default web browser.

Render chip items from collection

You can render the chip items from collection using for loop in Blazor Chip component as follows.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons
@if(ChipData.Count != 0) {
<SfChip EnableDelete="true">
    <ChipItems>
        @foreach (ChipCollection currentData in ChipData)
        {
             <ChipItem Text=@currentData.text Enabled=@currentData.enabled></ChipItem>
        }
    </ChipItems>
</SfChip>
}

@code{

    public List<ChipCollection> ChipData = new List<ChipCollection>();
    public class ChipCollection
    {
        public string text { get; set; }
        public bool enabled { get; set; }
    }
    protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync()
    {
        await base.OnInitializedAsync();
        await Task.Delay(2000);
        ChipData.Add(new ChipCollection
        {
            text = "Jenifer",
            enabled = true
        });
        ChipData.Add(new ChipCollection
        {
            text = "Amenda",
            enabled = true
        });
        ChipData.Add(new ChipCollection
        {
            text = "Isabella",
            enabled = true
        });
        ChipData.Add(new ChipCollection
        {
            text = "James",
            enabled = true
        });

    }
}
