🪢 Blazonia

🤔 What is this?

Blazonia enables developers to use the <a href="https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/apps/aspnet/web-apps/blazor">Blazor</a> syntax to build <a href="https://avaloniaui.net/">Avalonia</a> applications. Compared to Avalonia’s original XAML syntax, Blazonia’s Blazor-based approach is more concise and straightforward, allowing you to develop pages using a single file. It is particularly suitable for small to medium-sized client applications.

✨ Note

• 🚫 After using Blazonia, there will be no HTML code or WebView components involved.
• 🤩 Fully utilizes native Avalonia controls

Thanks to Avalonia's cross-platform capabilities, Blazonia enables developers to rapidly build beautiful, pixel-perfect applications for 💻 desktop, 📱 mobile, and 🌐 web platforms.

🌰 A Simple Example

@page "/"

<Window Title="Counter" Width="600" Height="400">
    <StackPanel>
        <Label FontSize="30">You pressed @_count times </Label>
        <CheckBox @bind-IsChecked="_showButton">Button visible</CheckBox>
        @if (_showButton! == true)
        {
            <Button OnClick="OnButtonClick">+1</Button>
        }
    </StackPanel>
</Window>

@code {

    int _count;
    
    bool? _showButton = true;
    
    void OnButtonClick() => _count++;
}

🛫 Start

1. Install project template

dotnet new install BlazoniaTemplate

2. Create a new project

dotnet new blazonia -o BlazoniaApp

Please use Rider to edit the project, because the code hints of razor files in Visual Studio 2022 and VS Code may fail.

📄 Acknowledge

Blazonia is a fork of the https://github.com/Epictek/Avalonia-Blazor-Bindings branch, maintained by developers including Microsoft, Dreamescaper, warappa, and Epictek.

Blazor's syntax is highly approachable and beginner-friendly. However, since the original repository appears to be inactive, I will continue to maintain this project. As the original name is already taken on NuGet, I have renamed it to Blazonia (Blazor + Avalonia) to facilitate publishing the NuGet package and project template.
