More InputComponents for common use cases

[sjohag]

Please add more components in InputComponents for Blazor, covering common tasks like file uploading and select-multiple (perhaps render something like bootstrap-select).
A simple grid and a modal wouldn't hurt either.
And keep up the good work, you are making amazing progress!

I agree, although it is straightforward to add your own components.

1. dotnet new razorcomponent -o CcInputPassword
   

2. I like to separate the razor syntax from the actual c# code, so create a cs file to keep the c#. Inherit your class from InputBase
   

3. Inherit from the "cs code" and implement the razor markup
   

4. ready to use on your form

Some are straightforward, some are not.
I think that file uploading requires JS-interop, and select-multiple is not very useful with standard rendering in most browsers, slightly better on mobile phones thanks to the lack of keyboard (no ctrl-button).

Your implementation of InputPassword is simple and clean, but almost identical to the existing InputText. If the existing implementation had a "type"-parameter (enum), making your own wouldn’t be necessary. Same goes for InputDate, a "type"-parameter (datetime, datetime-local etc) would make it more useful.

It would be nice and more productive if the basic interaction elements were included.

Well yes and no. For the functionality I wanted to show you are right, a input type=password would be enough, but my password component has a bit more than just be a password field. I also noticed that I could inherited from InputText and not InputBase<>, but well it is a sample.

This is still work in progress and I believe that the guys will add a bit more love to this, meanwhile everyone is free to create their own open source razor component libs and nuget them ;) the purpose of a framework is to provide the foundations to build on top of it.

Personally I am loving it!

Thanks for contacting us. This ask is already covered as part of multiple other issues. So closing this as we will be handling these instead.
