Component Lifecycle Patterns + +**SetParametersAsync** - First render only +- Intercepts parameters before Blazor processes them +- Override when you need custom parameter handling logic +- Must call `await base.SetParametersAsync(parameters)` unless implementing completely custom logic +- Most developers never need to override this method + +**OnInitialized and OnInitializedAsync** - One-time initialization +- Handles one-time initialization independent of parameter values +- Runs exactly once per component instance +- Use for loading initial data, subscribing to services, or setting up component state +- Synchronous version runs before asynchronous version +- Component must remain in a valid render state if awaiting an incomplete Task +- Critical mistake: loading data in OnParametersSet when it should be in OnInitialized + +**OnParametersSet and OnParametersSetAsync** - Parameter changes +- Triggers after OnInitialized and whenever parent component rerenders +- Blazor calls this with all complex-typed parameters regardless of whether internal mutations occurred +- Must manually detect changes by storing previous values and explicitly comparing +- Don't assume parameters changed just because the method was called +- Correct place to refresh data or recalculate derived state when parameters genuinely change + +**OnAfterRender and OnAfterRenderAsync** - Post-render operations +- Executes after component renders and DOM updates +- Essential for JavaScript interop requiring actual DOM elements +- `firstRender` parameter distinguishes initial render from subsequent updates +- Never run during prerendering or static SSR +- Don't automatically trigger rerender after async completion (prevents infinite loops) +- All JavaScript interop involving element references must happen here + +**Resource Management** +- Unhook event handlers in `Dispose()` +- Call `StateHasChanged()` explicitly after non-EventCallback updates +- Check component disposal state in long-running tasks +- Handle prerendering with `PersistentComponentState` to avoid expensive double execution + +### 2. SignalR Integration for Real-Time Features + +**Connection Setup Pattern** +```csharp +@inject NavigationManager Navigation +@implements IAsyncDisposable + +private HubConnection? hubConnection; + +protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync() +{ + hubConnection = new HubConnectionBuilder() + .WithUrl(Navigation.ToAbsoluteUri("/chathub")) + .WithAutomaticReconnect() + .Build(); + + hubConnection.On("ReceiveMessage", (user, message) => + { + // Process incoming message + StateHasChanged(); // Critical: SignalR callbacks don't automatically trigger rerenders + }); + + await hubConnection.StartAsync(); +} + +public async ValueTask DisposeAsync() +{ + if (hubConnection is not null) + { + await hubConnection.DisposeAsync(); + } +} +``` + +**Reconnection Handling** +- Use `WithAutomaticReconnect()` for resilience (returns exponentially increasing retry delays) +- Handle `Closed`, `Reconnecting`, and `Reconnected` events for UI feedback +- Restore state after disconnections + +**Server-Side Broadcasting** +```csharp +// Inject IHubContext in services or background jobs +private readonly IHubContext _hubContext; + +// Broadcast to all clients +await _hubContext.Clients.All.SendAsync("ReceiveMessage", user, message); + +// Broadcast to specific groups +await _hubContext.Clients.Group(groupName).SendAsync("ReceiveMessage", user, message); +``` + +**Common Mistakes** +- Forgetting to dispose hub connections (causes memory leaks) +- Missing `StateHasChanged()` calls (prevents UI updates from incoming messages) +- Not handling reconnection events + +### 3. State Management Decision Framework + +**Component Parameters** - Direct parent-child communication +- Excellent performance but limited scope +- Use for simple, local data flow + +**Cascading Parameters** - Component tree propagation +- Fixed cascading values (`IsFixed="true"`) deliver major performance benefits +- Avoid expensive subscriptions by using fixed values for readonly data +- Use for theme information, user context, or readonly configuration +- Mutable cascading values create subscriptions in every descendant (expensive) +- Should be avoided for frequently changing data + +**Scoped Services** - App-wide state +```csharp +public class AppState +{ + private string? currentUser; + public event Action? OnChange; + + public string? CurrentUser + { + get => currentUser; + set + { + currentUser = value; + NotifyStateChanged(); + } + } + + private void NotifyStateChanged() => OnChange?.Invoke(); +} + +// In component +@inject AppState AppState +@implements IDisposable + +protected override void OnInitialized() +{ + AppState.OnChange += StateHasChanged; +} + +public void Dispose() +{ + AppState.OnChange -= StateHasChanged; // Critical: prevents memory leaks +} +``` + +**State Libraries (Fluxor)** - Complex state coordination +- Redux patterns with immutable state, actions, reducers, and effects +- Provides predictable state transitions and time-travel debugging +- Adds complexity but valuable for complex state coordination +- Overkill for simple apps + +### 4. Server vs WebAssembly Architecture + +**Blazor Server** +- Executes on server with persistent SignalR connection streaming UI updates +- Fast initial load (~500KB) +- Direct database access +- Thin client requirements +- Trade-offs: network latency on every interaction, limited scalability (per-user circuits), zero offline capability +- Choose for: internal enterprise apps, SEO-critical sites, scenarios requiring direct server resource access + +**Blazor WebAssembly** +- Downloads .NET runtime and application to browser (2-10MB+) +- Executes entirely client-side +- Offline/PWA support +- Reduces server costs to static file hosting +- Eliminates network latency for UI interactions +- Slower startup until everything downloads +- Cannot access server resources directly (must use APIs) +- Choose for: public internet apps, offline-required scenarios, client-side responsiveness priority + +**Hybrid Pattern (.NET 8+)** +- Mix render modes per component: + - `@rendermode InteractiveServer` - Uses SignalR + - `@rendermode InteractiveWebAssembly` - Runs in browser + - `@rendermode InteractiveAuto` - Starts with Server then transitions to WASM +- Start with Server's fast load then upgrade to WASM's better interactivity +- Critical requirement for portability: use `HttpClient` instead of direct database access + +### 5. JavaScript Interop Patterns and Safety + +**Basic Pattern** +```csharp +@inject IJSRuntime JS + +protected override async Task OnAfterRenderAsync(bool firstRender) +{ + if (firstRender) + { + // Only execute after DOM elements exist + await JS.InvokeVoidAsync("myJsFunction", param1, param2); + var result = await JS.InvokeAsync("myJsFunctionWithReturn", param1); + } +} +``` + +**Isolation Pattern (Recommended)** +```csharp +private IJSObjectReference? module; + +protected override async Task OnAfterRenderAsync(bool firstRender) +{ + if (firstRender) + { + module = await JS.InvokeAsync("import", "./mymodule.js"); + await module.InvokeVoidAsync("init"); + } +} + +public async ValueTask DisposeAsync() +{ + if (module is not null) + { + await module.DisposeAsync(); + } +} +``` + +**Calling .NET from JavaScript** +```csharp +private DotNetObjectReference? objRef; + +protected override async Task OnAfterRenderAsync(bool firstRender) +{ + if (firstRender) + { + objRef = DotNetObjectReference.Create(this); + await JS.InvokeVoidAsync("setupCallback", objRef); + } +} + +[JSInvokable] +public void CallbackFromJS(string data) +{ + // Handle callback from JavaScript + StateHasChanged(); +} + +public void Dispose() +{ + objRef?.Dispose(); // Critical: prevents memory leaks +} +``` + +**Best Practices** +- Only call JS interop in `OnAfterRenderAsync` with `firstRender` check +- Handle `JSDisconnectedException` when circuits disconnect in Blazor Server +- Minimize JS interop calls (marshalling overhead) +- Batch operations when possible +- Never use synchronous JS interop in Blazor Server (only available in WASM) +- Avoid direct DOM manipulation from JavaScript (conflicts with Blazor rendering) + +### 6. Performance Optimization Strategies + +**Avoid Unnecessary Rendering** +```csharp +protected override bool ShouldRender() +{ + // Only render when component state meaningfully changed + return hasSignificantStateChange; +} +``` + +**Use Primitive Parameters** +- `int UserId` and `string Name` only trigger rerenders when values change +- Complex types like `UserModel User` always trigger rerenders +- Blazor can't detect internal mutations in complex types + +**List Rendering Optimization** +```razor +@foreach (var item in items) +{ +
+ @item.Name +
+} +``` + +**Virtualization for Large Lists** +```razor + +
@item.Name
+
+ + + +
@item.Name
+
+``` + +**Component Overhead Management** +- Creating 1000 components adds ~60ms overhead vs inline markup +- For large loops, inline simple markup rather than creating components +- Reserve components for complex reusable logic or independent rerendering needs +- Avoid recreating lambda expressions in loops (precompute delegates) + +**Cascading Value Optimization** +```razor + + + @ChildContent + +``` + +**Blazor WebAssembly Optimizations** +```xml + +true + + + +``` + +### 7. Critical Pitfalls and Anti-Patterns + +**Memory Leaks** +- Event subscriptions (`AppState.OnChange += StateHasChanged`) must be removed in `Dispose()` +- `DotNetObjectReference` and `IJSObjectReference` require explicit disposal +- SignalR `HubConnection` needs disposal through `IAsyncDisposable` +- Long-running tasks should respect `CancellationToken` + +**Lifecycle Timing Errors** +- JavaScript interop before `OnAfterRenderAsync` (DOM doesn't exist yet) +- Accessing parameters before `OnParametersSet` +- Forgetting `StateHasChanged()` after SignalR messages + +**Prerendering Double Execution** +- `OnInitializedAsync` runs once on server, once on client +- Leads to duplicate API calls or database queries +- Use `PersistentComponentState` to store first execution results and skip second + +**State Management Anti-Patterns** +- Monolithic cascading values containing entire app state +- Prop drilling parameters through five component levels +- Embedding server-specific code (database contexts) in components meant for WebAssembly + +**Performance Anti-Patterns** +- Complex-typed parameters causing unnecessary rerenders +- Lambda recreation in loops +- Missing `@key` on lists +- Rendering 10,000+ items without virtualization + +**Binding Anti-Pattern** +```razor + + + + + +``` + +## Implementation Guidelines + +When implementing Blazor solutions, I will: + +1. **Choose the right lifecycle method**: OnInitialized for one-time setup, OnParametersSet for parameter-dependent logic, OnAfterRender for JS interop +2. **Implement proper resource disposal**: Always dispose event subscriptions, SignalR connections, JS object references +3. **Call StateHasChanged() appropriately**: After non-EventCallback updates and SignalR messages +4. **Optimize rendering**: Use ShouldRender, @key, virtualization, and primitive parameters +5. **Handle prerendering**: Use PersistentComponentState to avoid double execution +6. **Manage state wisely**: Start with component parameters, escalate to cascading values or scoped services only when needed +7. **Implement SignalR carefully**: Automatic reconnection, proper disposal, StateHasChanged in callbacks +8. **Use JS interop safely**: Only in OnAfterRenderAsync, module isolation pattern, proper disposal +9. **Consider render mode implications**: Use HttpClient for portability between Server and WASM +10. **Monitor performance**: Measure before optimizing, focus on actual bottlenecks + +What Blazor pattern or implementation would you like me to help with? diff --git a/plugin.lock.json b/plugin.lock.json new file mode 100644 index 0000000..4a8dcf0 --- /dev/null +++ b/plugin.lock.json @@ -0,0 +1,45 @@ +{ + "$schema": "internal://schemas/plugin.lock.v1.json", + "pluginId": "gh:Dieshen/claude_marketplace:plugins/blazor-development", + "normalized": { + "repo": null, + "ref": "refs/tags/v20251128.0", + "commit": "e7f6c998345a3d83a038ad950143a8319c9fafa9", + "treeHash": "7a1f90e4a125293bca602da4123ab609acdf1cc88d90e8ef802c04eadb1b44b6", + "generatedAt": "2025-11-28T10:10:20.896657Z", + "toolVersion": "publish_plugins.py@0.2.0" + }, + "origin": { + "remote": "git@github.com:zhongweili/42plugin-data.git", + "branch": "master", + "commit": "aa1497ed0949fd50e99e70d6324a29c5b34f9390", + "repoRoot": "/Users/zhongweili/projects/openmind/42plugin-data" + }, + "manifest": { + "name": "blazor-development", + "description": "Blazor component lifecycle patterns, SignalR real-time integration, state management", + "version": "1.0.0" + }, + "content": { + "files": [ + { + "path": "README.md", + "sha256": "2a963641247a4050a47f3d0ce5819828e57386f594586adf9c96bb8a1270a9fe" + }, + { + "path": ".claude-plugin/plugin.json", + "sha256": "74181463f4c07978d9b5215adc7712cf498d5cc1a5b6fb775cd0fc5b6160a73b" + }, + { + "path": "commands/blazor-patterns.md", + "sha256": "b0f024cd3ca34a53309c43d18d8f54a87e223050b455d3475744bae214fdf531" + } + ], + "dirSha256": "7a1f90e4a125293bca602da4123ab609acdf1cc88d90e8ef802c04eadb1b44b6" + }, + "security": { + "scannedAt": null, + "scannerVersion": null, + "flags": [] + } +} \ No newline at end of file
