Introduction

The stage is set for the collaboration between the Fluent UI Web Components (built on FAST) and Blazor.

FAST

FAST is a collection of technologies that focus on Web Components and modern Web Standards, allowing for the creation of web components that can be used with any front-end framework.

Fluent

Fluent is Microsoft's design system for modern applications, used for both web and Windows applications.

The Fluent UI Web Components

A set of components implementing the Fluent design system, built on FAST technologies, and can work independently or in hierarchy to communicate with each other.

Fluent UI Web Components and Blazor

The library offers Blazor wrappers for the Fluent UI Web Components, enabling their use within Blazor applications. The initial version contained around 40 components and has now moved development away from the FAST team.

Conclusion

The library has evolved from being just wrappers to incorporating Fluent UI Web Components directly into Blazor applications. Feedback from users is welcomed for future enhancements.
