The Syncfusion® AI Coding Assistant is designed to streamline the development workflow for Blazor applications that use Syncfusion® components. It leverages contextual knowledge of the Syncfusion component library to generate code snippets, configuration examples, and guided explanations—reducing documentation lookups and increasing productivity.
Installation
Follow the Installation Guide to set up the MCP Server in your development environment.
Usage
Activate the AI Coding Assistant in your IDE by using the #sf_blazor_assistant command followed by your query:
#sf_blazor_assistant How do I enable paging and sorting in the Syncfusion Blazor Grid?
Common Use Cases
| Use Case | Description | Example Query |
|---|---|---|
| Component Generation | Generate complete component implementations with configurations | #sf_blazor_assistant Create a data grid with inline editing, paging, and toolbar options for CRUD operations |
| Feature Implementation | Get specific feature implementations for existing components | #sf_blazor_assistant Add export to Excel functionality in my existing Grid component |
| Troubleshooting | Resolve issues by describing the problem | #sf_blazor_assistant Scheduler is not displaying events properly. What could be wrong with the data binding? |
| API Reference | Quickly access API information | #sf_blazor_assistant What are the available event arguments for the Grid's actionComplete event? |
Best Practices
- Be Specific: Include platform and component (e.g., “Create a Syncfusion Blazor Grid with paging and filtering”).
- Provide Context: Share versions, desired behavior, and constraints.
- Use Descriptive Queries: Avoid vague questions.
- Troubleshooting: Use AI suggestions for common issues; consult official documentation or support for complex problems.
- Start Fresh: Begin a new chat for new topics to maintain clean context.
Always review AI-generated code before using it in production.
