Blazewind is an open-source Blazor WebAssembly admin dashboard template that pairs MudBlazor with Tailwind CSS to give developers a pre-built, interactive dashboard foundation.
What is Blazewind?
Blazewind is a hosted Blazor WebAssembly dashboard template designed to be a starting point for building interactive admin interfaces. It takes no input itself; instead, developers clone the repository and customize the included pages and components. The template outputs a working dashboard with five pages: Dashboard (Home), Products, Invoice, Billing, and Profile. It is built on the .NET Blazor WebAssembly hosting model and uses MudBlazor as the component library alongside Tailwind CSS for utility-based styling. The project is maintained as an open-source GitHub repository and notes that there are currently few MudBlazor-based dashboard templates, which this project aims to address.
Key Features
- Pre-built dashboard pages — Includes five ready-to-use pages: Dashboard (Home), Products, Invoice, Billing, and Profile, covering common admin panel sections.
- MudBlazor integration — Uses MudBlazor as the primary Blazor component library for UI elements like tables, forms, navigation, and cards.
- Tailwind CSS styling — Combines MudBlazor with Tailwind CSS so developers can apply utility-class styling alongside a component framework.
- Blazor Apex Charts — Integrates Apex Charts for displaying interactive charts on the dashboard, useful for metrics and analytics.
- Bogus placeholder data — Leverages the Bogus library to generate realistic dummy data for the Products and other pages during development.
- Morris Blazor Validation — Includes form validation via Morris Blazor Validation for the Invoice, Billing, and Profile forms.
- BlazorComponentBus — Uses BlazorComponentBus to handle communication between components, simplifying state updates across pages.
- Open-source with JetBrains support — The project is open source and acknowledges JetBrains for providing IDE licenses through their open-source support program.
Who is it for?
- Blazor developers — Those who want a quick, pre-built dashboard UI in Blazor WebAssembly without starting from scratch, especially if they prefer MudBlazor.
- .NET teams prototyping admin panels — Teams building internal tools or admin dashboards can use the included pages as a foundation and replace placeholder data with real APIs.
- Open-source contributors — Developers interested in filling the gap for MudBlazor dashboard templates can suggest new pages or submit pull requests to expand the template.
What can you do with Blazewind?
- Dashboard developers: Display key metrics with Apex Charts on the Dashboard home page and link to Products, Invoice, Billing, and Profile from the navigation.
- Admin panel builders: Use the Products page with Bogus-generated data to prototype inventory or catalog management interfaces before wiring up a backend.
- Blazor learners: Study how MudBlazor and Tailwind CSS coexist in a single Blazor WebAssembly hosted project, as this combination is not commonly shown in tutorials.
