AutoEditForm quick start (pseudo-code)

For a working sample please checkout the demo application in the project's repository.

The sample model:

using BlazorFormManager.ComponentModel.ViewAnnotations;
using System;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

[FormDisplayDefault(ShowGroupName = true)]
public class AutoUpdateUserModel
{
    [DisplayIgnore]
    public string Id { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [StringLength(100)]
    [FormDisplay(GroupName = "Personal info", Icon = "fas fa-user")]
    public string FirstName { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [StringLength(100)]
    [FormDisplay(GroupName = "Personal info", Name = "Last / Family Name", Icon = "fas fa-user")]
    public string LastName { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [StringLength(255)]
    [EmailAddress]
    [FormDisplay(GroupName = "Contact details", Icon = "fas fa-envelope", UITypeHint = "email")]
    public string Email { get; set; }

    [StringLength(30)]
    [FormDisplay(GroupName = "Contact details", Icon = "fas fa-phone", UITypeHint = "phone")]
    public string PhoneNumber { get; set; }

    [FormDisplay(GroupName = "Please select", UIHint = "select", Name = "", Order = 2)]
    public int AgeRange { get; set; }

    [Range(typeof(DayOfWeek), "Monday", "Friday")]
    [FormDisplay(GroupName = "Please select", UIHint = "select", Name = "", Order = 1, Prompt = "[Favourite Working Day]", Icon = "fas fa-calendar")]
    public string FavouriteWorkingDay { get; set; }

    [FormDisplay(UITypeHint = "radio", Order = 3, Name = "What's your favourite color?")]
    public string FavouriteColor { get; set; }

    [FormDisplay(Order = 4, Name = "Enable two-factor authentication", Description = "Log in with your email and an SMS confirmation")]
    public bool TwoFactorEnabled { get; set; }
}

The matching markup on the client (AutoEditFormUpdate.razor):

@attribute [Authorize]
@page "/account/autoeditform"

<AutoEditForm Model="Model" FormAction="api/account/update" RequestHeaders="RequestHeaders" OnSubmitDone="HandleSubmitDone" OptionsGetter="GetOptions" @ref="Manager">
    <AfterDisplayGroups>
        <hr />
        <SubmitButton Manager="Manager" Text="Update" />
    </AfterDisplayGroups>
    <ChildContent>
        <Base64RemoteImage Src="api/account/photo" @ref="RemoteImgRef" />
        <CustomInputFile Name="Photo" />
        <DataAnnotationsValidator />
    </ChildContent>
</AutoEditForm>

The code behind the markup (essential parts):

using BlazorFormManager.Components;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Authentication;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Net.Http.Json;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public partial class AutoEditFormUpdate
{
  private static IEnumerable<SelectOptionList> _options;
  private IDictionary<string, object> RequestHeaders { get; set; }
  private AutoUpdateUserModel Model { get; set; }
  private AutoEditForm<AutoUpdateUserModel> Manager { get; set; }
  private Base64RemoteImage RemoteImgRef { get; set; }
  ...

  protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync()
  {
    try
    {
      Model = await Http.GetFromJsonAsync<AutoUpdateUserModel>("api/account/info");
      RequestHeaders = await HeadersProvider.CreateAsync();
      if (_options == null) _options = await Http.GetFromJsonAsync<IEnumerable<SelectOptionList>>("api/account/options");
    }
    catch (AccessTokenNotAvailableException ex)
    {
      ex.Redirect();
    }
    await base.OnInitializedAsync();
  }


  private IEnumerable<SelectOption> GetOptions(string propertyName)
    => _options?.Where(opt => opt.PropertyName == propertyName).FirstOrDefault()?.Items;
}

On the server, in a controller:

[Authorize]
[Route("api/[controller]")]
[ApiController]
public class AccountController : ControllerBase
{
  [HttpGet("options")]
  public IEnumerable<SelectOptionList> GetOptions()
  {
      // These options could be retrieved from a database or another server-side store;
      // otherwise, there would be no point in making an HTTP request just to retrieve
      // static / hard-coded values. But hey, this is a demo project!
      var ageOptions = new[]
      {
          new SelectOption{ Id = "0", Value = "[Your most appropriate age]", IsPrompt = true },
          new SelectOption{ Id = "1", Value = "Minor (< 18)" },
          new SelectOption{ Id = "2", Value = "Below or 25" },
          new SelectOption{ Id = "3", Value = "Below or 30" },
          new SelectOption{ Id = "4", Value = "Below or 40" },
          new SelectOption{ Id = "5", Value = "Below 50" },
          new SelectOption{ Id = "6", Value = "Between 50 and 54" },
          new SelectOption{ Id = "7", Value = "Between 55 and 60" },
          new SelectOption{ Id = "8", Value = "Above 60" },
          new SelectOption{ Id = "8", Value = "Above 70" },
          new SelectOption{ Id = "8", Value = "Above 80" },
      };

      var colorOptions = new[]
      {
          new SelectOption("red", "Red"),
          new SelectOption("green", "Green"),
          new SelectOption("blue", "Blue"),
      };

      return new[]
      {
          new SelectOptionList(nameof(AutoUpdateUserModel.AgeRange), ageOptions),
          new SelectOptionList(nameof(AutoUpdateUserModel.FavouriteColor), colorOptions),
      };
  }
}

Introducing AutoEditForm: Automatically generate an EditForm with all appropriate inputs using only a model and custom attributes. These new form display custom attributes control the way the UI is presented and reduce the amount of code required to have a beautifully-layed-out and fully-functional editable form. Adding a tiny amount of CSS you can further style your form as you desire.
