A set of Blazor components wrapping Microsoft’s official Fluent UI Web Components. They implement the latest state of the Fluent design language, are built on FAST and work in every major browser.

:star: We appreciate your star, it helps!
The Microsoft.Fast.Components.FluentUI package provides a lightweight set of Blazor component wrappers around Microsoft's official FluentUI Web Components. The FluentUI Web Components are built on FAST and work in every major browser. To get up and running with Microsoft.Fast.Components.FluentUI see the Getting Started section below.
The source for @fluentui/web-components is hosted in the Fluent UI mono-repository. Documentation on the components is available on docs.microsoft.com.
To get started using the Fluent UI Web Components for Blazor, you will first need to install the official Nuget package for Fluent UI. You can use the following command:
dotnet add package Microsoft.Fast.Components.FluentUINext, you need to add the web components script. You can either add the script from CDN directly, or you can install it with NPM, whichever you prefer.
To add the script from CDN use the following markup:
<script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@fluentui/web-components/dist/web-components.min.js"></script>The markup above always references the latest release of the components. When deploying to production, you will want to ship with a specific version. Here's an example of the markup for that:
<script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@fluentui/web-components@2.0.2/dist/web-components.min.js"></script>The best place to put the script tag is typically in your index.html (_Layout.cshtml for blazor server project) file in the script section at the bottom of the <body>.
If you wish to leverage NPM instead, run the following command:
npm install --save @fluentui/web-componentsYou can locate the single file script build in the following location:
node_modules/@fluentui/web-components/dist/web-components.min.jsCopy this to your wwwroot/script folder and reference it with a script tag as described above.
:notebook: Note
If you are setting up Fluent UI Web Components on a Blazor Server project, you will need to escape the
@character by repeating it in the source link. For more information check out the Razor Pages syntax documentation.
In your Program.cs file you need to add the following:
builder.Services.AddFluentUIComponents();if you are using Blazor Server, you need to make sure the HttpClient service is added:
builder.Services.AddHttpClient();With the package installed and the script configured, you can begin using the Fluent UI Web Components in the same way as any other Blazor component. Just be sure to add the following using statement to your views:
@using Microsoft.Fast.Components.FluentUIHere's a small example of a FluentCard with a FluentButton that uses the Fluent "Accent" appearance:
@using Microsoft.Fast.Components.FluentUI
<FluentCard>
<h2>Hello World!</h2>
<FluentButton Appearance="@Appearance.Accent">Click Me</FluentButton>
</FluentCard>:bulb: Tip
You can add
@using Microsoft.Fast.Components.FluentUIto the namespace collection in_Imports.razor, so that you can avoid repeating it in every single razor page.
The Fluent UI Web Components are built on FAST's Adaptive UI technology, which enables design customization and personalization, while automatically maintaining accessibility. This is accomplished through setting various "Design Tokens". As of version 1.4 you can use all of the (160) individual Design Tokens, both from code as in a declarative way in your .razor pages. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/fluent-ui/web-components/design-system/design-tokens for more information on how Design Tokens work
Given the following .razor page fragment:
<FluentButton @ref="ref1" Appearance="Appearance.Filled">A button</FluentButton>
<FluentButton @ref="ref2" Appearance="Appearance.Filled">Another button</FluentButton>
<FluentButton @ref="ref3" Appearance="Appearance.Filled">And one more</FluentButton>
<FluentButton @ref="ref4" Appearance="Appearance.Filled" @onclick=OnClick>Last button</FluentButton>
You can use Design Tokens to manipulate the styles from C# code as follows:
[Inject]
private BaseLayerLuminance BaseLayerLuminance { get; set; } = default!;
[Inject]
private AccentBaseColor AccentBaseColor { get; set; } = default!;
[Inject]
private BodyFont BodyFont { get; set; } = default!;
[Inject]
private StrokeWidth StrokeWidth { get; set; } = default!;
[Inject]
private ControlCornerRadius ControlCornerRadius { get; set; } = default!;
private FluentButton? ref1;
private FluentButton? ref2;
private FluentButton? ref3;
private FluentButton? ref4;
protected override async Task OnAfterRenderAsync(bool firstRender)
{
if (firstRender)
{
//Set to dark mode
await BaseLayerLuminance.SetValueFor(ref1!.Element, (float)0.15);
//Set to Excel color
await AccentBaseColor.SetValueFor(ref2!.Element, "#185ABD".ToSwatch());
//Set the font
await BodyFont.SetValueFor(ref3!.Element, "Comic Sans MS");
//Set 'border' width for ref4
await StrokeWidth.SetValueFor(ref4!.Element, 7);
//And change conrner radius as well
await ControlCornerRadius.SetValueFor(ref4!.Element, 15);
StateHasChanged();
}
}
public async Task OnClick()
{
//Remove the wide border
await StrokeWidth.DeleteValueFor(ref4!.Element);
}As can be seen in the code above (with the ref4.Element), it is posible to apply multiple tokens to the same component.
For Design Tokens that work with a color value, you must call the ToSwatch() extension method on a string value or use one of the Swatch constructors. This makes sure the color is using a format that Design Tokens can handle. A Swatch has a lot of commonality with the System.Drawing.Color struct. Instead of the values of the components being between 0 and 255, in a Swatch they are expressed as a value between 0 and 1.
:notebook: Note
The Design Tokens are manipulated through JavaScript interop working with an
ElementReference. There is no JavaScript element until after the component is rendered. This means you can only work with the Design Tokens from code after the component has been rendered inOnAfterRenderAsyncand not in any earlier lifecycle methods.
The Design Tokens can also be used as components in a .razor page directely. It looks like this:
<BaseLayerLuminance Value="(float?)0.15">
<FluentCard BackReference="@context">
<div class="contents">
Dark
<FluentButton Appearance="Appearance.Accent">Accent</FluentButton>
<FluentButton Appearance="Appearance.Stealth">Stealth</FluentButton>
<FluentButton Appearance="Appearance.Outline">Outline</FluentButton>
<FluentButton Appearance="Appearance.Lightweight">Lightweight</FluentButton>
</div>
</FluentCard>
</BaseLayerLuminance>To make this work, a link needs to be created between the Design Token component and its child components. This is done with the BackReference="@context" construct.
:notebook: Note
Only one Design Token component at a time can be used this way. If you need to set more tokens, use the code approach as described in Option 1 above.
<FluentDesignSystemProvider>The third way to customize the design in Blazor is to wrap the entire block you want to manipulate in a <FluentDesignSystemProvider>. This special element has a number of properties you can set to configure a subset of the tokens. Not all tokens are available/supported and we recommend this to only be used as a fall-back mechanism. The preferred mehod of working with the desgn tokens is to manipulate them from code as described in option 1.
Here's an example of changing the "accent base color" and switching the system into dark mode (in the file app.razor):
<FluentDesignSystemProvider AccentBaseColor="#464EB8" BaseLayerLuminance="0">
<Router AppAssembly="@typeof(App).Assembly">
<Found Context="routeData">
<RouteView RouteData="@routeData" DefaultLayout="@typeof(MainLayout)" />
</Found>
<NotFound>
<PageTitle>Not found</PageTitle>
<LayoutView Layout="@typeof(MainLayout)">
<p role="alert">Sorry, there's nothing at this address.</p>
</LayoutView>
</NotFound>
</Router>
</FluentDesignSystemProvider>:notebook: Note
FluentDesignSystemProvider token attributes can be changed on-the-fly like any other Blazor component attribute.
If you are attempting to configure the components for integration into a specific Microsoft product, the following table provides AccentBaseColor values you can use:
| Product | AccentBaseColor |
|---|---|
| Office | #D83B01 |
| Word | #185ABD |
| Excel | #107C41 |
| PowerPoint | #C43E1C |
| Teams | #6264A7 |
| OneNote | #7719AA |
| SharePoint | #03787C |
| Stream | #BC1948 |
For a list of all available token attributes, see here. More examples for other components can be found in the examples folder of this repository.
