BlazorEngine 1.0.61

BlazorEngine

BlazorEngine is a library that lets you generate full-featured Blazor UI pages from your C# models and attributes. It is designed for rapid development of CRUD-style apps, admin panels, and internal tools, with minimal boilerplate.

Features

• Automatic UI generation: List, Card, Worksheet, and Two-List (side-by-side) pages are generated from your models.
• Menu auto-discovery: Add a simple attribute to your model and it appears in the navigation menu—no manual menu editing required.
• Action buttons: Decorate methods with [PageAction] or [GridAction] to expose them as buttons on pages or in data grids.
• Attribute-driven customization: Control visibility, grouping, and more with attributes on your models and properties.
• No icons required: Menu entries are plain text by default for simplicity.
• Custom Razor pages: You can still write custom Razor components/pages as needed.

How to Use

1. Reference BlazorEngine in your Blazor project (WebAssembly, Server, or MAUI Blazor).
2. Add attributes to your models to control menu entries and actions. Example:

[AddToMenu(Title = "Products", Route = "/products")]
public class Product { /* ... */ }

[PageAction(Caption = "Refresh")]
public void Refresh() { /* ... */ }

3. Run your app. The UI and menu are generated automatically.

4. See the Demo: The Demo/TestShared project contains sample models and demonstrates all features. Explore it for real-world usage.

Getting Started

• Clone this repository.
• Open the solution in Visual Studio.
• Set one of the demo projects (WebAssembly, Server, or MAUI) as the startup project.
• Run (F5) and explore the generated UI.

Special Note for .NET MAUI

Add this script to your index.html before the WebAssembly script:

<script app-name="MauiApp1"
 src="./_content/Microsoft.FluentUI.AspNetCore.Components/js/initializersLoader.webview.js"></script>

In the <BlazorEngineApp> tag, add the parameter: BlazorEngineRenderMode="null"
