Installation

The installation process is straightforward. All you need to do is add the MudBlazor.Extensions NuGet package to your Blazor project. You can do this using the following code:

<PackageReference Include="MudBlazor.Extensions" Version="*" />

Setting Up MudBlazor.Extensions

Setting up MudBlazor.Extensions involves three steps:

1. Update the _Imports.razor with the following lines:

@using MudBlazor.Extensions
@using MudBlazor.Extensions.Components
@using MudBlazor.Extensions.Components.ObjectEdit

2. Register MudBlazor.Extensions in your Startup.cs in the ConfigureServices method.

// use this to add MudServices and the MudBlazor.Extensions
builder.Services.AddMudServicesWithExtensions();

// or this to add only the MudBlazor.Extensions but please ensure that this is added after mud servicdes are added. That means after `AddMudServices`
builder.Services.AddMudExtensions();

3. (Optional) Define default dialogOptions.

builder.Services.AddMudServicesWithExtensions(c =>
{
    c.WithDefaultDialogOptions(ex =>
    {
        ex.Position = DialogPosition.BottomRight;
    });
});

if your are running on Blazor Server side, you should also use the MudBlazorExtensionMiddleware you can do this in your startup or program.cs by adding the following line on your WebApplication:

    app.UseMudExtensions();

(Optional) if you have problems with automatic loaded styles you can also load the styles manually by adding the following line to your index.html or _Host.cshtml

<link id="mudex-styles" href="_content/MudBlazor.Extensions/mudBlazorExtensions.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

Components

This section introduces you to the various components provided by the MudBlazor.Extensions.

MudExObjectEdit

The MudExObjectEdit is a robust component that allows for object editing and automatically generates the corresponding UI. This component supports automatic validation for DataAnnotation Validations or fluent registered validations for your model.

To use MudExObjectEdit, you can simply use the MudExObjectEditForm and pass your model to it as shown below:

<MudExObjectEditForm OnValidSubmit="@OnSubmit" Value="@MyModel"></MudExObjectEditForm>

You can also utilize the MudExObjectEditDialog to edit your model in a dialog. The easiest way to do this is by using the extension method EditObject on the IDialogService.

dialogService.EditObject(User, "Dialog Title", dialogOptionsEx);

MudExFileDisplay

The MudExFileDisplay component is designed to display file contents, such as a preview before uploading or for referenced files. This component can automatically handle URLs or streams and deliver the best possible display. Additionally, you can implement IMudExFileDisplay in your own component to register a custom file display. This is excacly what MudExFileDisplayZip does, which is used by MudExFileDisplay to display zip files or what MudExFileDisplayMarkdown does to display markdown files.

Example of using MudExFileDisplay:

 <MudExFileDisplay FileName="NameOfYourFile.pdf" ContentType="application/pdf" Url="@Url"></MudExFileDisplay>

MudExFileDisplayZip

This component can be automatically utilized by MudExFileDisplay, but can also be used manually if necessary. Note: If you're using the ContentStream it should not be closed or disposed.

 <MudExFileDisplayZip AllowDownload="@AllowDownload" RootFolderName="@FileName" ContentStream="@ContentStream" Url="@Url"></MudExFileDisplayZip>

MudExFileDisplayDialog

A small dialog for the MudExFileDisplay Component. It can be used with static helpers as shown below:

 await MudExFileDisplayDialog.Show(_dialogService, dataUrl, request.FileName, request.ContentType, ex => ex.JsRuntime = _jsRuntime);

It can be used directly with an IBrowserFile:

 IBrowserFile file = File;
 await MudExFileDisplayDialog.Show(_dialogService, file, ex => ex.JsRuntime = _jsRuntime);

Or it can be used manually with the MudBlazor dialogService:

var parameters = new DialogParameters
{
    {nameof(Icon), BrowserFileExtensions.IconForFile(contentType)},
    {nameof(Url), url},
    {nameof(ContentType), contentType}
};
await dialogService.ShowEx<MudExFileDisplayDialog>(title, parameters, optionsEx);

MudExUploadEdit

This component provides multi-file upload functionality, with features like duplicate checks, max size, specific allowed content types, max items, zip auto-extract, and many more.

Extensions

Resizable or Draggable Dialogs

You can make your dialogs resizable or draggable using the following code snippet:

var options = new DialogOptionsEx { Resizeable = true, DragMode = MudDialogDragMode.Simple, CloseButton = true, FullWidth = true };
var dialog = await _dialogService.ShowEx<YourMudDialog>("Your Dialog Title", parameters, options);

Adding a Maximize Button

You can add a maximize button to your dialogs with the following code:

var options = new DialogOptionsEx { MaximizeButton = true, CloseButton = true };
var dialog = await _dialogService.ShowEx<YourMudDialog>("Your Dialog Title", parameters, options);

Adding Custom Buttons

To add custom buttons to your dialog, first define the callback methods as JSInvokable in your component code:

[JSInvokable]
public void AlarmClick()
{
   // OnAlarmButton Click
}

[JSInvokable]
public void ColorLensClick()
{
   // OnColorLensButton Click
}

Next, define your custom buttons:

var buttons = new[]
{
    new MudDialogButton( DotNetObjectReference.Create(this as object), nameof(AlarmClick)) {Icon = Icons.Material.Filled.Alarm},
    new MudDialogButton( DotNetObjectReference.Create(this as object), nameof(ColorLensClick)) {Icon = Icons.Material.Filled.ColorLens},
};

Finally, add your custom buttons to the dialog:

var options = new DialogOptionsEx { MaximizeButton = true, CloseButton = true, Buttons = buttons };
var dialog = await _dialogService.ShowEx<YourMudDialog>("Your Dialog Title", parameters, options);

Your dialog can now look like this:

Using Animation to Show Dialog

You can use animation to display your dialog. This is done by setting the Animation property of DialogOptionsEx.

var options = new DialogOptionsEx { 
    MaximizeButton = true, 
    CloseButton = true, 
    Buttons = buttons, 
    Position = DialogPosition.CenterRight, 
    Animation = AnimationType.SlideIn, 
    AnimationDuration = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(500),
    FullHeight = true
};
var dialog = await _dialogService.ShowEx<YourMudDialog>("Your Dialog Title", parameters, options);

When you animate a dialog with dialogServiceEx, it's recommended to add the class mud-ex-dialog-initial to your dialog to ensure no visibility before animation.

<MudDialog Class="mud-ex-dialog-initial">

NOTE: All animations can be used on other components as well. Currently, the following animations are supported: SlideIn,FadeIn,Scale,Slide,Fade,Zoom,Roll,JackInTheBox,Hinge,Rotate,Bounce,Back,Jello,Wobble,Tada,Swing,HeadShake,Shake,RubberBand,Pulse,Flip,FlipX,FlipY.

Using Extension Method with an Action<YourDialog>

Instead of using DialogParameters, you can call the extension method with an Action<YourDialog>

await dialogService.ShowEx<SampleDialog>("Simple Dialog", dialog => { dialog.ContentMessage = "Hello"; },options);
