Easily Create Blazor Projects Using Syncfusion Blazor Template Studio

Syncfusion has provided a Blazor Template Studio in the 2020 Volume 1 release for creating Blazor apps that integrate Syncfusion components. The various features of this extension—installing NuGet packages, adding Syncfusion Blazor component sample code, and applying built-in templates to enhance the user experience—make it a useful tool. These features save developers significant time in creating and configuring projects.

In this blog, I am going to explain how to create a Syncfusion Blazor app using the Blazor Template Studio.

Prerequisites

The prerequisites for creating a Blazor app are:

• Visual Studio 2019

Creating a Syncfusion Blazor app

The following are the steps to create a Syncfusion Blazor app:

1. In Visual Studio 2019, select File > New > Project. This opens a dialog for creating a new project.
2. In the dialog, either select the Syncfusion option in the templates or search for Syncfusion in the search box.
3. Select Syncfusion Blazor Template Studio from the search results and click Next.
4. Provide a name for the app.
5. Select the Blazor project type you need:
   1. Syncfusion Blazor Server App.
   2. Syncfusion Blazor WebAssembly App.

Note: In Syncfusion Blazor WebAssembly App project type, we can choose ASP.NET Core hosted, Progressive Web Application, or both.

Note: The Progressive Web Application option will only be available if .NET Core SDK version 3.1.102 or newer is installed.

6. Select the controls you need for your app by clicking the Add option in Controls
7. In the Features tab, select the features you need for the selected Syncfusion controls.
8. In the Configuration tab, choose the .NET Core version and themes, and then click Create.

The Blazor app will be created with the required NuGet packages for the Syncfusion components, and sample code for the selected features of the controls will be added as separate Razor files.
