Fluent UI Blazor — Consumer Usage Guide

This skill teaches how to correctly use the Microsoft.FluentUI.AspNetCore.Components (version 4) NuGet package in Blazor applications.

Critical Rules

1. No manual <script> or <link> tags needed

The library auto-loads all CSS and JS via Blazor's static web assets and JS initializers. Never tell users to add <script> or <link> tags for the core library.

2. Providers are mandatory for service-based components

These provider components MUST be added to the root layout (e.g. MainLayout.razor) for their corresponding services to work. Without them, service calls fail silently (no error, no UI).

<FluentToastProvider />
<FluentDialogProvider />
<FluentMessageBarProvider />
<FluentTooltipProvider />
<FluentKeyCodeProvider />

3. Service registration in Program.cs

builder.Services.AddFluentUIComponents();

// Or with configuration:
builder.Services.AddFluentUIComponents(options =>
{
    options.UseTooltipServiceProvider = true;  // default: true
    options.ServiceLifetime = ServiceLifetime.Scoped; // default
});

ServiceLifetime rules:

  • ServiceLifetime.Scoped — for Blazor Server / Interactive (default)
  • ServiceLifetime.Singleton — for Blazor WebAssembly standalone
  • ServiceLifetime.Transient — throws NotSupportedException

4. Icons require a separate NuGet package

dotnet add package Microsoft.FluentUI.AspNetCore.Components.Icons

Usage with a @using alias:

@using Icons = Microsoft.FluentUI.AspNetCore.Components.Icons

<FluentIcon Value="@(Icons.Regular.Size24.Save)" />
<FluentIcon Value="@(Icons.Filled.Size20.Delete)" Color="@Color.Error" />

Pattern: Icons.[Variant].[Size].[Name]

  • Variants: Regular, Filled
  • Sizes: Size12, Size16, Size20, Size24, Size28, Size32, Size48

Custom image: Icon.FromImageUrl("/path/to/image.png")

Never use string-based icon names — icons are strongly-typed classes.

5. List component binding model

FluentSelect<TOption>, FluentCombobox<TOption>, FluentListbox<TOption>, and FluentAutocomplete<TOption> do NOT work like <InputSelect>. They use:

  • Items — the data source (IEnumerable<TOption>)
  • OptionText — Func<TOption, string?> to extract display text
  • OptionValue — Func<TOption, string?> to extract the value string
  • SelectedOption / SelectedOptionChanged — for single selection binding
  • SelectedOptions / SelectedOptionsChanged — for multi-selection binding
<FluentSelect Items="@countries"
              OptionText="@(c => c.Name)"
              OptionValue="@(c => c.Code)"
              @bind-SelectedOption="@selectedCountry"
              Label="Country" />

NOT like this (wrong pattern):

@* WRONG — do not use InputSelect pattern *@
<FluentSelect @bind-Value="@selectedValue">
    <option value="1">One</option>
</FluentSelect>

6. FluentAutocomplete specifics

  • Use ValueText (NOT Value — it's obsolete) for the search input text
  • OnOptionsSearch is the required callback to filter options
  • Default is Multiple="true"
<FluentAutocomplete TOption="Person"
                    OnOptionsSearch="@OnSearch"
                    OptionText="@(p => p.FullName)"
                    @bind-SelectedOptions="@selectedPeople"
                    Label="Search people" />

@code {
    private void OnSearch(OptionsSearchEventArgs<Person> args)
    {
        args.Items = allPeople.Where(p =>
            p.FullName.Contains(args.Text, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase));
    }
}

7. Dialog service pattern

Do NOT toggle visibility of <FluentDialog> tags. The service pattern is:

  1. Create a content component implementing IDialogContentComponent<TData>:
public partial class EditPersonDialog : IDialogContentComponent<Person>
{
    [Parameter] public Person Content { get; set; } = default!;

    [CascadingParameter] public FluentDialog Dialog { get; set; } = default!;

    private async Task SaveAsync()
    {
        await Dialog.CloseAsync(Content);
    }

    private async Task CancelAsync()
    {
        await Dialog.CancelAsync();
    }
}
  1. Show the dialog via IDialogService:
[Inject] private IDialogService DialogService { get; set; } = default!;

private async Task ShowEditDialog()
{
    var dialog = await DialogService.ShowDialogAsync<EditPersonDialog, Person>(
        person,
        new DialogParameters
        {
            Title = "Edit Person",
            PrimaryAction = "Save",
            SecondaryAction = "Cancel",
            Width = "500px",
            PreventDismissOnOverlayClick = true,
        });

    var result = await dialog.Result;
    if (!result.Cancelled)
    {
        var updatedPerson = result.Data as Person;
    }
}

For convenience dialogs:

await DialogService.ShowConfirmationAsync("Are you sure?", "Yes", "No");
await DialogService.ShowSuccessAsync("Done!");
await DialogService.ShowErrorAsync("Something went wrong.");

8. Toast notifications

[Inject] private IToastService ToastService { get; set; } = default!;

ToastService.ShowSuccess("Item saved successfully");
ToastService.ShowError("Failed to save");
ToastService.ShowWarning("Check your input");
ToastService.ShowInfo("New update available");

FluentToastProvider parameters: Position (default TopRight), Timeout (default 7000ms), MaxToastCount (default 4).

9. Design tokens and themes work only after render

Design tokens rely on JS interop. Never set them in OnInitialized — use OnAfterRenderAsync.

<FluentDesignTheme Mode="DesignThemeModes.System"
                   OfficeColor="OfficeColor.Teams"
                   StorageName="mytheme" />

10. FluentEditForm vs EditForm

FluentEditForm is only needed inside FluentWizard steps (per-step validation). For regular forms, use standard EditForm with Fluent form components:

<EditForm Model="@model" OnValidSubmit="HandleSubmit">
    <DataAnnotationsValidator />
    <FluentTextField @bind-Value="@model.Name" Label="Name" Required />
    <FluentSelect Items="@options"
                  OptionText="@(o => o.Label)"
                  @bind-SelectedOption="@model.Category"
                  Label="Category" />
    <FluentValidationSummary />
    <FluentButton Type="ButtonType.Submit" Appearance="Appearance.Accent">Save</FluentButton>
</EditForm>

Use FluentValidationMessage and FluentValidationSummary instead of standard Blazor validation components for Fluent styling.
