Search and select the component list

Search and select the required Syncfusion Blazor UI components from the CRG to generate a specific set of component resources.

Refer to the following steps to search and select the components in CRG:

  1. Navigate to the Custom Resource Generator (CRG) application at CRG.

  2. Type the required component name in the search bar and select the checkbox. The dependency of the selected component is resolved in the application itself, so you do not need to choose each dependent component manually.

How to use custom resources in the Blazor application

  1. Copy/paste the downloaded custom resources in the Blazor application ~/wwwroot folder.

  2. Set DisableScriptManager as true in AddSyncfusionBlazor service in ~/Startup.cs file for Blazor Server app or ~/Program.cs file for Blazor WebAssembly app.

    Blazor Server App (~/Startup.cs)

    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddRazorPages();
    services.AddServerSideBlazor();

    // Set DisableScriptManager as true to load custom  scripts
    services.AddSyncfusionBlazor(true);

    services.AddSingleton<WeatherForecastService>();
}

    Blazor WebAssembly App (~/Program.cs)

    public static async Task Main(string[] args)
{
    var builder = WebAssemblyHostBuilder.CreateDefault(args)    ;
    ....
    ....

    // Set DisableScriptManager as true to load custom  scripts
    builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor(true);

    await builder.Build().RunAsync();
}

  3. Now, manually add the custom interop script and styles in the ~/Pages/_Host.cshtml for Blazor Server app or ~/wwwroot/index.html for Blazor WebAssembly app.

    <head>
    ....
    ....
    <link href="material.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <script src="syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
  4. Run the application and it will load the resources with application required components.

Import previously generated settings into CRG

To add more components or upgrade the latest Syncfusion Blazor library resources, it is not necessary to generate from the scratch in the CRG. Just import the old import.json file, make the changes, and then download it again from the CRG application.

Refer to the following steps to import previous settings in CRG:

  1. Click the IMPORT SETTINGS button at the bottom of the page.

    Import option in CRG

  2. Upload the import.json file, so that the previously stored data will be restored in the CRG application. Now, add more components and export the resources again.
