This article provides a step-by-step instructions for building Blazor WebAssembly App with Blazor Calendar
component using Visual Studio.
Prerequisites
Create a new Blazor WebAssembly App in Visual Studio
You can create a Blazor WebAssembly App using Visual Studio via Microsoft Templates or the Syncfusion Blazor Extension.
Install Syncfusion Blazor Calendars and Themes NuGet in the App in the App
Here’s an example of how to add Blazor Calendar 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.Calendars and Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes. Alternatively, you can utilize the following package manager command to achieve the same.
Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars -Version 27.1.48
Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes -Version 27.1.48
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.Calendars
namespace.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars
Now, register the Syncfusion Blazor Service in the ~/Program.cs file of your Blazor WebAssembly App.
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Web;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Hosting;
using Syncfusion.Blazor;
var builder = WebAssemblyHostBuilder.CreateDefault(args);
builder.RootComponents.Add<App>("#app");
builder.RootComponents.Add<HeadOutlet>("head::after");
builder.Services.AddScoped(sp => new HttpClient { BaseAddress = new Uri(builder.HostEnvironment.BaseAddress) });
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();
await builder.Build().RunAsync();
....
Add stylesheet and script resources
The theme stylesheet and script can be accessed from NuGet through Static Web Assets. Reference the stylesheet and script in the <head>
of the main page as follows:
- For Blazor WebAssembly app, include it in the ~wwwroot/index.html file.
<head>
....
<link href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes/bootstrap5.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Core/scripts/syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
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 component
Add the Syncfusion Blazor Calendar component in the ~/Pages/Index.razor file.
<SfCalendar TValue="DateTime" />
- Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or ⌘+F5 (macOS) to launch the application. This will render the Syncfusion Blazor Calendar component in your default web browser.
