PureBlazor Components

Note

This component library is pre-release software.

These components are native Blazor UI components that are free to use for any Blazor project. The components also work seamlessly with PureBlazor CMS.

Features

  • Native Blazor - The components are built for Blazor. They are not a wrapper around a JavaScript library.
  • Blazing Fast - The components are fast on every platform.
  • Headless Mode - The components have a fully customizable UI. You may disable all styles with a single property.
  • Tailwind Compatible - The components have built-in styles that automatically merge with your Tailwind classes.

Getting started

Installation

InteractiveWebAssembly / SSR

Install the PureBlazor.Components NuGet package to your Client project.

dotnet add package PureBlazor.Components

Register the components and services to your Program.cs file.

builder.AddPureBlazorComponents();

InteractiveServer / InteractiveAuto

You'll need to add the ASP.NET Core integration package to your Server project and update your Program.cs file, in addition to the Client Project.

dotnet add package PureBlazor.Components.AspNetCore

Theming

We have designed PureBlazor's components to be compatible with Tailwind CSS so you can customize with Tailwind or any custom CSS.

In the future, we will offer additional extensibility points to customize the components with C#. We will publish documentation on this as we solidify it further.

Use the default styles

Include pureblazor.css in your App.Razor file, in the <head> tag.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="_content/PureBlazor.Components/pureblazor.css" />

To customize further on top of these default styles with Tailwind CSS, see tailwind.md.

Ad-hoc customization

All components have a Styles parameter that accepts a string of CSS classes. If you use Tailwind, the classes will merge with the default styles. The Styles parameter is parsed and evaluated for conflicts; conflicting styles passed in here will supersede default classes.

For example, to change the shade of red for the Danger accent, which is bg-red-900 by default:

<PureButton Accent="Accent.Danger" Styles="bg-red-600">Default button</PureButton>

C# customization

You can override the default theme in C# by creating a PureStyles object and passing it to a CascadingValue. The PureStyles object has properties for each component style.

<CascadingValue Value="styles">
    <PureButton Accent="Accent.Danger">Default button</PureButton>
</CascadingValue>

@code {
    PureStyles styles = new();
}

Important

Not all components have C# customization available yet.

Headless Mode

Headless mode turns the UI components into completely unstyled, fully customizable, and accessible components.

You can enable headless mode by setting the Theme property to Off using a CascadingValue. You may do so for individual components or wrap your entire application in a CascadingValue.

<CascadingValue Value="Theme.Off">
    <PureButton>Unstyled button</PureButton>
</CascadingValue>
