Aspnetcore: Blazor in combination with Microsoft's Fluent Design

Created on 22 May 2019 · 3Comments · Source: dotnet/aspnetcore

Fluent Design was all over the place at Build 2019. I'm wondering if Microsoft will port the Fabric Library to Blazor, to create a universal design system / component library for the web in C#. In a later stage we can wrap our Blazor clients in an elektron shell and have a universal way to create web AND native apps using a common design language and components. If Microsoft would start/back the community in this effort, the adoption of Blazor will drastically increase.

Some people were already looking into Fabric @galvesribeiro for example. but the CSS-in-JS makes it pretty hard to share some styling from the React Fabric repository.

Yeah, the major issue we had in the past, was the fact that the license was really restrictive to MSFT internal use or (in case of Fabric) to Office-based apps.

Now that those restrictions were lifted, I'm going to port first all components from https://www.microsoft.com/design/fluent/#/web to Blazor.

Would be awesome if we could have it on a aspnet/AspNetCore repo, but if that isn't possible no problem... We will keep them on BlazorExtensions like verything else...
