Posted on by Tov

Hi,

Is it possible to create a PCF component with Blazor WebAssembly instead of React (e.g. with "Blazor component " feature https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/asp-net-core-updates-in-net-6-rc-1/#render-blazor-components-from-javascript)?

Thanks,

Tov

Hello,

I did a brief review of Blazor so not an answer from an expert from a Blazor perspective.

As far as I understood Blazor-based web pages are using "Server" side, so .Net code (correct me if I'm wrong).

Since the serverside component is involved - that won't work because PCF controls are 100% clientside component.

Hi,
Blazor WebAssembly is 100% clientside 🙂

I found the link. I did a quick check and to be honest I have mixed feelings that I see a new version of Silverlight 🙂

Unfortunately, I don't have a good answer would it work or not. I tend to say no otherwise Microsoft would tell about this possibility like they were talking about the possibility of using Angular - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/component-framework/sample-controls/angular-flip-control

I have also been looking for this. So, I stumbled upon this blog. I think that the original request was maybe misunderstood.
Use my take on the request on this blog, and I think my perspective aligns to this request.
To be able to create a PCF control with a Blazor web assembly client-side application wrapped within the PCF control where the Blazor web assembly application would control the HTML and data bindings to replace the functionality that angular or react would provide.

After several tests, I succeeded to develop and run a PCF component in Blazor WebAssembly in the development environment, but I couldn't deploy it in a "real" Dynamics 365 environment.

Again it sounds like the request is understood the other way around.
It should be, "create a PCF component with Blazor WebAssembly instead of React".
Not, "I succeeded to develop and run a PCF component in Blazor WebAssembly in the development environment".
Or otherwise phrase as, "develop and run a Blazor WebAssembly in a PCF component in a Dynamics 365 environment"
