✈️ How to get started

First install the TanvirArjel.Blazor nuget package into your Blazor app as follows:

PMC:

 Install-Package TanvirArjel.Blazor

.NET CLI:

 dotnet add package TanvirArjel.Blazor

🛠️ Usage:

1. To enable Constructor Dependency Injection support for the Blazor Components:

   Blazor Server:

   using TanvirArjel.Blazor.DependencyInjection;
       
   services.AddComponents();

   Blazor Web Assembly:

   using TanvirArjel.Blazor.DependencyInjection;
       
   builder.Services.AddComponents();

2. NavigationManager Extensions:

   a) To get query string value:

   using TanvirArjel.Blazor.Extensions;
   
   string tagName = _navigationManager.GetQuery("tag");
   int pageIndex = _navigationManager.GetQuery<int>("pageIndex");

   b) SetQuery() - 2 Overloads

   c) NavigateTo() - 3 Overloads

3. For Pagination:

   Add @using TanvirArjel.Blazor.Components to the _Imports.razor file. and then:

   <Pagination PaginationModel="PaginationModel"/>
   
   @code {
        private PaginationModel PaginationModel { get; set; }
        protected override void OnInitialized()
        {
            PaginationModel = new PaginationModel()
            {
                PageIndex = 5,
                PageSize = 10,
                TotalItems = 300,
                ListPath = "products"
            };
        }
   }

   Note: Pagination styling depends on Bootstrap css framework.

4. CustomValidationMessages component for adding custom validation message to the EditContext as follows:

   In .razor file:

   <EditForm EditContext="FormContext" OnValidSubmit="HandleValidSubmit">
     <DataAnnotationsValidator />
     <CustomValidationMessages @ref="ValidationMessages" />
     <ValidationSummary Model="@LoginModel" />
     
     ......
   </EditForm>

   In .razor.cs file:

   private EditContext FormContext { get; set; }
   
   private LoginModel LoginModel { get; set; } = new LoginModel();
   
   private CustomValidationMessages ValidationMessages { get; set; }
   
   private async Task HandleValidSubmit()
   {
     try
     {
         HttpResponseMessage httpResponse = await _userService.LoginAsync(LoginModel);
   
         if (httpResponse.IsSuccessStatusCode)
         {
             JsonSerializerOptions jsonSerializerOptions = new JsonSerializerOptions()
             {
                 PropertyNameCaseInsensitive = true
             };
   
             string responseString = await httpResponse.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
             LoggedInUserInfo loginResponse = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<LoggedInUserInfo>(responseString, jsonSerializerOptions);
   
             if (loginResponse != null)
             {
                 await _hostAuthStateProvider.LogInAsync(loginResponse, "/");
             }
         }
         else
         {
             // This will automatically add all the server side validation messages to the EditContext model.
             await ValidationMessages.AddAndDisplayAsync(httpResponse);
             IsDisabled = false;
         }
     }
     catch (Exception exception)
     {
         // You cann also manually add error messages to the EditContext model.
         ValidationMessages.AddAndDisplay(ErrorMessage.ClientErrorMessage);
         await _exceptionLogger.LogAsync(exception);
     }
   }
