How to Fill MatBlazor SelectItem After an Event

If you're new to MatBlazor and trying to dynamically fill a MatSelectItem after a specific event occurs, you might find yourself facing some challenges. In this guide, we'll walk through a common scenario where you want to populate a dropdown list after a user logs in, ensuring that your options are displayed correctly within your Blazor application.

Understanding the Problem

In Blazor web applications, it’s not uncommon to want to update the UI based on user actions. This is especially true when you have data that’s expected to change dynamically, like when a user logs in and their available options are loaded. Here’s a simplified breakdown of the scenario:

You have a MatSelectItem component that should display a list of locations.

Initially, the locations array is empty.

After processing a login, you’re trying to fill this array with new data.

Although you call StateHasChanged() to refresh the UI, the options in the MatSelectItem do not update as expected.

The Solution

The resolution to this issue required a small but vitally important step in setting up your project. Here’s how to effectively solve the problem of populating a MatSelectItem after an event:

Step 1: Ensure MatBlazor is Properly Added

Before the MatSelectItem can function correctly, you need to confirm that MatBlazor is properly set up in your project. The first thing to check is whether you've added services.AddMatBlazor() in your Startup.cs file. This ensures that the necessary services for MatBlazor components are available to your application.

Step 2: Update Your Component Code

Ensure that your MatSelectItem is set up correctly within your component. Below, take note of how the component is structured:

Disabled: This is controlled by the locationvisible variable.

Label: The label for the dropdown, indicating to users what they should select.

Value: This is bound to @ selectedLocation.

Items: This is where your locations array is utilized.

Step 3: Filling the Locations Array

After a successful login, you need to fill the locations array with data:

Just by following the steps above, your MatSelectItem should now reflect the updated list of locations once the user logs in.

Conclusion

By ensuring that you have included services.AddMatBlazor() in your Startup.cs file, you've taken the critical step to resolve your issue with dynamically populating a MatSelectItem in MatBlazor.

This setup, coupled with the proper binding of the locations array and a call to StateHasChanged() after updating your data, will ensure that your dropdown reflects the latest options available after an event.

Feel free to experiment with this pattern in your own applications to get a better grasp of how dynamic UI updates function with MatBlazor!
