Mastering Blazor’s InputSelect: Bind and Update Multiple Properties

In the world of Blazor, developers often work with form elements like InputSelect to create dynamic and responsive user interfaces. One common challenge arises when you need to bind a value to an InputSelect and simultaneously update related properties when a user makes a selection. If you’ve found yourself grappling with this issue, you’re not alone! In this post, we’ll walk through a practical solution that ensures both the selected office's ID and its corresponding name are updated effectively.

Understanding the Problem

Imagine you have an object model for an account that includes a list of offices. You want to not only bind the selected office's ID to your InputSelect but also update its name when a user selects an office from the dropdown.

Here's a simplified model of what we're working with:

The challenge arises when you attempt to bind the InputSelect to the Id of the selected office, as well as update the Name based on this selection. Typically, most developers may attempt to handle this using inline events, but this approach then leads to unexpected behavior since the <option> elements in HTML do not trigger events like onclick properly.

Proposed Solution: Using Events with InputSelect

To efficiently achieve the desired functionality, let's implement a solution using the @ onchange event on a standard <select> element instead of the InputSelect component. Here’s how you can set it up:

Step 1: Create the SelectOffice Method

This method will handle the logic for updating the selected office's ID and name when an office is chosen from our dropdown.

Step 2: Modify Your HTML Structure

Now replace your InputSelect with a standard <select> element that leverages the event to update both properties.

Explanation of the Code

HTML Structure: The dropdown presents available offices retrieved from your AvailableOffices list. Each office has an ID as its value, making it easy to identify which office was selected.

Selecting an Office: When an office is selected from the dropdown, the SelectOffice method is triggered where we capture the office's details based on its ID. This allows us to not only bind the ID but also update the associated name seamlessly.

Validation: The validation message will provide feedback if an office selection is mandated, ensuring a good user experience.

Conclusion

By using the @ onchange event with a standard <select> element, we can easily update related properties in Blazor applications. This method is effective and user-friendly, allowing developers to maintain clear and responsive data bindings without the pitfalls of inline event attributes on <option> tags. Now you can implement a smooth user selection experience that reflects changes dynamically in your account model.
