How to upgrade Syncfusion Blazor Components to 18.1.0.36 version

24 Oct 20234 minutes to read

To upgrade Syncfusion Blazor Components to 18.1.0.36 version, you need to check the following:

NuGet changes

Previous versions of the Syncfusion Blazor NuGet package name is Syncfusion.EJ2.Blazor. From version 18.1.0.36, it will be Syncfusion.Blazor. Other Blazor packages will also have the same name changes.

For example, refer to the following table for changes in the Blazor packages name.

Before 18.1.0.36 version	From 18.1.0.36 version
Syncfusion.EJ2.Blazor	Syncfusion.Blazor
Syncfusion.EJ2.WordEditor.Blazor	Syncfusion.WordEditor.Blazor
Syncfusion.EJ2.Blazor.PdfViewerServer.Windows	Syncfusion.Blazor.PdfViewerServer.Windows
Syncfusion.EJ2.Blazor.PdfViewerServer.Linux	Syncfusion.Blazor.PdfViewerServer.Linux
Syncfusion.EJ2.Blazor.PdfViewerServer.OSX	Syncfusion.Blazor.PdfViewerServer.OSX

Namespace changes

The previous version of Syncfusion Blazor contains the namespace Syncfusion.EJ2.Blazor followed by component package names such as Buttons, Charts, Grids, and Inputs. After 18.1.0.36 version, this has been modified to Syncfusion.Blazor followed by its package name. Check the following table for examples.

Before 18.1.0.36 version	From 18.1.0.36 version
Syncfusion.EJ2.Blazor	Syncfusion.Blazor
Syncfusion.EJ2.Blazor.Buttons	Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons
Syncfusion.EJ2.Blazor.Calendars	Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars
Syncfusion.EJ2.Blazor.Charts	Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts
Syncfusion.EJ2.Blazor.Grids	Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids

Component name changes

In the previous version, the component names are prefixed with Ejs (example: EjsGrid, EjsChart) which has been changed to the prefix Sf (example: SfGrid, SfChart). Check the following examples for your reference.

Before v18.1.0.36	From v18.1.0.36
RAZOR `<EjsButton>Button</EjsButton>`	RAZOR `<SfButton>Button</SfButton>`
RAZOR `<EjsCalendar TValue="DateTime"></EjsCalendar>`	RAZOR `<SfCalendar TValue="DateTime"></SfCalendar>`

Resource changes

Till the previous version, you will be loading scripts ej2.min.js and ejs-interop.min.js manually in the application, which is not required from 18.1.0.36 version. The script will be loaded from NuGet through static web assets for the components loaded on the page. We have also provided styles as static web assets to load in the application.

Before v18.1.0.36 From v18.1.0.36

RAZOR

<head>
    ....
    ....
    <link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/17.4.55/material.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/17.4.55/dist/ej2.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/17.4.55/dist/ejs.interop.min.js"></script>
</head>

RAZOR

<head>
    ....
    ....
    <link href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor/styles/bootstrap4.css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>

Still, you can load the resource from CRG by disabling default script loading from static web assets by passing arguments to AddSyncfusionBlazor service in the ~/Program.cs file.

DataManager changes

In the previous version, Query’s initialization was made as new ej.data.Query(). From version 18.0.1.36, it has been changed to new sf.data.Query(). Check the following table for examples.

Before v18.1.0.36 From v18.1.0.36

RAZOR

@using Syncfusion.EJ2.Blazor.Data

@{ var chartQuery = $"new ej.data.Query().where('EmployeeID', 'equal', {employee.EmployeeID}, false)"; }

<EjsChart Height="390px" Title="Sales Report" DataSource="@OrderData">
    ....
    ....
        <ChartSeriesCollection>
        <ChartSeries XName="ShipCity" YName="Freight" Type="ChartSeriesType.Column" Query="@chartQuery">
        </ChartSeries>
        </ChartSeriesCollection>
    ....
    ....
</EjsChart>

RAZOR

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Data

@{ var chartQuery = $"new sf.data.Query().where('EmployeeID', 'equal', {employee.EmployeeID}, false)"; }

<SfChart Height="390px" Title="Sales Report" DataSource="@OrderData">
    ....
    ....
        <ChartSeriesCollection>
        <ChartSeries XName="ShipCity" YName="Freight" Type="ChartSeriesType.Column" Query="@chartQuery">
        </ChartSeries>
        </ChartSeriesCollection>
    ....
    ....
</SfChart>

NOTE

To downgrade the project from 18.1.0.36 version, you need to do the reverse process of the previous steps.
