Create project
Syncfusion provides project templates for Visual Studio Code to create Syncfusion Blazor applications. Syncfusion Blazor creates applications with the required Syncfusion NuGet packages, namespaces, and component render code for the Calendar, Button, and DataGrid components, and the style for making development easier with Syncfusion components.
The following steps help you create Syncfusion Blazor Applications through the Visual Studio Code:
-
In Visual Studio Code, open the command palette by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P to create a Syncfusion Blazor project. When the Visual Studio Code palette opens, search for the word Syncfusion so you can get the templates provided.
-
Select Create Syncfusion Blazor Project and then press Enter. The Project Location palette appears to store the application.
-
Provide the destination location and then press Enter. The Project Name palette appears.
The Syncfusion Visual Studio Code project template provides support for Blazor project templates from
v17.4.0.39. -
Select the required version of .NET Core and then press Enter.
-
Fill in the name of the project, and then press Enter. The palette of project types for Syncfusion Blazor appears. Syncfusion Blazor has two types of projects:
- Syncfusion Blazor Server App
- Syncfusion Blazor WebAssembly App
If you choose a Syncfusion Blazor Web Assembly App, you will have the option to include ASP.NET Core hosted and Progressive Web Application.
-
Select and desired Syncfusion Blazor application and then press Enter. The palette of theme selection appears. Choose the preferred theme and then click Enter. The project will be created.
-
The created Syncfusion Blazor app is configured with the Syncfusion NuGet packages, styles, and the component render code for the Syncfusion component added to the Index, Counter, and FetchData pages.
-
To show the Syncfusion components, you can run the application. Click on F5 or navigate to Debug>Start Debugging.
-
If you installed the trial setup or NuGet packages from nuget.org you have to register the Syncfusion license key to your project since Syncfusion introduced the licensing system from 2018 Volume 2 (v16.2.0.41) Essential Studio release. Navigate to the help topic to generate and register the Syncfusion license key to your project. Refer to this blog post for understanding the licensing changes introduced in Essential Studio.
