It is a utility for adding Syncfusion [Blazor components](https://www.syncfusion.com/blazor-components) to the Razor file of a [Blazor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blazor) application. This code snippet utility saves significant time for developers in adding Syncfusion Blazor components to their projects. In this blog, I am going to explain how to use the Code Snippets in Visual Studio Code utility to add Syncfusion Blazor components to your applications in the [Mac](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS) operating system. ## **Prerequisites** The prerequisites for using Syncfusion Blazor Snippets are: - [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/download) - [.NET Core 3.1 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/3.1) or later - [C# extension for Visual Studio Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.csharp) ## **Install Syncfusion Blazor Snippets** The Syncfusion Blazor Snippets utility is included as part of [Blazor VS Code Extensions](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SyncfusionInc.Blazor-VSCode-Extensions) . ### **Installing from Visual Studio Marketplace** To install the **Syncfusion Blazor VS Code Extensions** from Visual Studio Marketplace, follow these steps: 1. Open Visual Studio Code. 2. Then, open the Command Palette by navigating to **View**> ** Command Palette**. 3. Search for **Install Extensions** in the **Command Palette** and expand Install Extensions when it appears. 4. Search for **Syncfusion Blazor** in the search box to locate the **Blazor VSCode Extensions – Syncfusion**. 5. Then, install the **Blazor VSCode Extensions – Syncfusion** extension. ### **Installing from a VSIX package** To install the **Syncfusion** ** Blazor VS Code Extensions**from a VSIX package, follow these steps: 1. Download [Syncfusion Blazor VS Code Extensions](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SyncfusionInc.Blazor-VSCode-Extensions) from the Visual Studio Marketplace. 2. Open **Visual Studio Code**. 3. Open the **Command Palette** by navigating to **View** > ** Command Palette**. 4. Search for **Install**, and then click ** Install from VSIX**in the Command Palette. 5. Locate the downloaded VSIX file using the **Browse** option. The extension will be installed. ## **Adding Syncfusion Blazor components using the code snippet utility** To add a Syncfusion Blazor component to a Blazor application using the code snippet utility: 1. Open an existing Blazor application or create a new Blazor application in Visual Studio Code. 2. Then, open the required Razor file. 3. Now, start typing the name of a Syncfusion Blazor component, which will begin with sf. As you type in the name, you will see a list of components along with their features in the following format. ***sf-*** For example: sfgrid-grouping. Choose a Syncfusion component-feature pair and press **Enter** or the **Tab** key. The Syncfusion Blazor component, along with the code to use the feature, will be added to the Razor file. ![Adding Syncfusion Blazor DataGrid in Razor File](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Adding-Syncfusion-Blazor-DataGrid-in-Razor-File.gif) 4. After adding the Syncfusion Blazor component code in the Razor file, use the **tab key** to fill the values required to render the component. The comments in the code snippet will help you find the values to be filled. ![Fill the values required to render the Blazor DataGrid](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Fill-the-values-required-to-render-the-Blazor-DataGrid.png)The help link at the top of the code snippet will take you to the documentation page to learn more about the added component feature. ![Use the help link to know more about the features of Blazor DataGrid](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Use-the-help-link-to-know-more-about-the-features-of-Blazor-DataGrid.png) ## **Configuring the Blazor application** The Syncfusion Blazor Code Snippets in Visual Studio Code for Mac utility only adds the code in the Razor file. So, we need to install the required NuGet packages, add namespaces and themes, and register the Syncfusion Blazor Service to use the component. Follow these steps: 1. First, open the Blazor project file and add the required NuGet package(s) as a package reference manually. Refer to our documentation to learn the [benefits of using individual NuGet packages](https://blazor.syncfusion.com/documentation/nuget-packages/#benefits-of-using-individual-nuget-packages) . These NuGet packages will be automatically restored when building the application. ![Add Syncfusion Blazor DataGrid NuGet package reference in the Blazor project](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Add-Syncfusion-Blazor-DataGrid-NuGet-package-reference-in-the-Blazor-project.png) 2. Then, open the _**Imports.**** razor**file and add the required namespaces to render the Syncfusion component in your application. ![Add the required namespaces to render the Syncfusion Blazor DataGrid in the Imports.razor file](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Add-the-required-namespaces-to-render-the-Syncfusion-Blazor-DataGrid-in-the-Imports.razor-file.png) 3. Now, add the theme details in the element of the **~/Pages/_Host.html** page for the server application and the **~/wwwroot/index.html** page for the client application. ![Add the theme details in the server and client apps](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Add-the-theme-details-in-the-server-and-client-apps.png) 4. Open the **~/Startup.cs** file for the server application and the **~/Program.cs** file for the client application. Then, register the Syncfusion Blazor Service. ![Register the Syncfusion Blazor Service in the server and client apps](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Register-the-Syncfusion-Blazor-Service-in-the-server-and-client-apps.png) 5. Finally, run the application to see the Syncfusion Blazor component. ## Special mention: Syncfusion® Document Viewer Extension If you often find yourself switching between apps just to check a Word or Excel file, this handy tool is for you.
