Prerequisites

Install the latest version of .NET SDK. If you previously installed the SDK, you can determine the installed version by executing the following command in a command prompt (Windows) or terminal (macOS) or command shell (Linux).

.NET CLI
dotnet --version

Create a Blazor Web App using .NET CLI

Run the following command to create a new Blazor Web App in a command prompt (Windows) or terminal (macOS) or command shell (Linux). For detailed instructions, refer to this Blazor Web App Getting Started documentation.

Configure the appropriate interactive render mode and interactivity location when setting up a Blazor Web Application. For detailed information, refer to the interactive render mode documentation.

For example, to create a Blazor Web App with the Auto interactive render mode, use the following commands:

.NET CLI
dotnet new blazor -o BlazorApp -int Auto
cd BlazorApp
cd BlazorApp.Client

This command creates a new Blazor Web App and places it in a new directory called BlazorApp inside your current location. See the Create a Blazor App and dotnet new CLI command topics for more details.

Install Syncfusion^® Blazor SmithChart NuGet in the App

Here’s an example of how to add Blazor Smith Chart component in the application using the following command in the command prompt (Windows) or terminal (Linux and macOS) to install a Syncfusion.Blazor.SmithChart NuGet package. See Install and manage packages using the dotnet CLI topics for more details.

If using the WebAssembly or Auto render modes in the Blazor Web App, install Syncfusion^® Blazor component NuGet packages in the client project.

.NET CLI
dotnet add package Syncfusion.Blazor.SmithChart --version 32.1.19
dotnet restore

NOTE

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

Add Import Namespaces

Open the ~/_Imports.razor file from the client project and import the Syncfusion.Blazor and Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts namespaces.

~/_Imports.razor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts

Register Syncfusion^® Blazor Service

If the Interactive Render Mode is set to WebAssembly or Auto, register the Syncfusion^® Blazor service in the ~/Program.cs files of the main server project and associated .Client project.

Server(~/_Program.cs)
Client(~/_Program.cs)
...
...
using Syncfusion.Blazor;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add services to the container.
builder.Services.AddRazorComponents()
    .AddInteractiveServerComponents()
    .AddInteractiveWebAssemblyComponents();
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();

var app = builder.Build();
....
...
using Syncfusion.Blazor;

var builder = WebAssemblyHostBuilder.CreateDefault(args);
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();

await builder.Build().RunAsync();

Add script resources

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

<body>
    ....
    <script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Core/scripts/syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body>

NOTE

Check out the Adding Script Reference topic to learn different approaches for adding script references in your Blazor application.

Add Syncfusion^® Blazor Smith Chart component

Add the Syncfusion^® Blazor Smith Chart component to a Razor page located under the Pages folder (e.g., Pages/Home.razor) in either the Server or Client project. If an interactivity location as Per page/component in the web app, define a render mode at top of the component, as follows:

Interactivity location	RenderMode	Code
Per page/component	Auto	@rendermode InteractiveAuto
	WebAssembly	@rendermode InteractiveWebAssembly
	None	—

NOTE

If an Interactivity Location is set to Global and the Render Mode is set to Auto or WebAssembly, the render mode is configured in the App.razor file by default.

Adding series to Blazor Smith Chart

Smith Chart series can be added in two ways. Use either Points or Datasource in the SmithChartSeries.

If you add using Datasource property, additionally you need to specify data source mapping fields using Reactance and Resistance properties.

If you are using Points, you don’t need to specify mapping fields as like in DataSource. But the Points collection should be SmithChartPoint type and define Resistance and Reactance properties mandatorily.

The following sample demonstrates adding two series to Smith Chart in both ways.

First series Transmission1 shows DataSource bound series.
Second series Transmission2 shows Points bound series.

RAZOR
<SfSmithChart>
    <SmithChartSeriesCollection>
        <SmithChartSeries Name="Transmission1"
                          Reactance="Reactance"
                          Resistance="Resistance"
                          DataSource="@FirstTransmissionSeries">
        </SmithChartSeries>
        <SmithChartSeries Name="Transmission2"
                          Points="@SecondTransmissionSeries">
        </SmithChartSeries>
    </SmithChartSeriesCollection>
</SfSmithChart>

@code {
    public class SmithDataSource
    {
        public double Resistance { get; set; }
        public double Reactance { get; set; }
    };
    public List<SmithDataSource> FirstTransmissionSeries = new List<SmithDataSource> {
        new SmithDataSource { Resistance= 10, Reactance= 25 },
        new SmithDataSource { Resistance= 8, Reactance= 6 },
        new SmithDataSource { Resistance= 6, Reactance= 4.5 },
        new SmithDataSource { Resistance= 4.5, Reactance= 2 },
        new SmithDataSource { Resistance= 3.5, Reactance= 1.6 },
        new SmithDataSource { Resistance= 2.5, Reactance= 1.3 },
        new SmithDataSource { Resistance= 2, Reactance= 1.2 },
        new SmithDataSource { Resistance= 1.5, Reactance= 1 },
        new SmithDataSource { Resistance= 1, Reactance= 0.8 },
        new SmithDataSource { Resistance= 0.5, Reactance= 0.4 },
        new SmithDataSource { Resistance= 0.3, Reactance= 0.2 },
        new SmithDataSource { Resistance= 0.001, Reactance= 0.15 }
    };
    public List<SmithChartPoint> SecondTransmissionSeries = new List<SmithChartPoint> {
        new SmithChartPoint { Resistance= 20, Reactance= -50 },
        new SmithChartPoint { Resistance= 10, Reactance= -10 },
        new SmithChartPoint { Resistance= 9, Reactance= -4.5 },
        new SmithChartPoint { Resistance= 8, Reactance= -3.5 },
        new SmithChartPoint { Resistance= 7, Reactance= -2.5 },
        new SmithChartPoint { Resistance= 6, Reactance= -1.5 },
        new SmithChartPoint { Resistance= 5, Reactance= -1 },
        new SmithChartPoint { Resistance= 4.5, Reactance= -0.5 },
        new SmithChartPoint { Resistance= 2, Reactance= 0.5 },
        new SmithChartPoint { Resistance= 1.5, Reactance= 0.4 },
        new SmithChartPoint { Resistance= 1, Reactance= 0.4 },
        new SmithChartPoint { Resistance= 0.5, Reactance= 0.2 },
        new SmithChartPoint { Resistance= 0.3, Reactance= 0.1 },
        new SmithChartPoint { Resistance= 0.001, Reactance= 0.05 }
    };
}

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