Does Blazor Really Need JavaScript? Let’s Clear This Up.

In our last video, someone asked me if Blazor requires a lot of JavaScript. Turns out, a friend of theirs even switched back to React because of this. So, let’s talk about it.

Does Blazor actually need JavaScript? Wasn’t the idea that we wouldn’t have to use it at all?

Here’s the thing: Blazor never promised zero JavaScript—it promised that .NET devs could build interactive web apps without relying on JS for everything. And that promise still holds.

In this video:
* I break down what JavaScript interop really is
* Talk about when you might actually need JS
* Show examples of native Blazor alternatives
* And share a quick demo using D3.js

Have you encountered a situation where JavaScript was needed in your Blazor project? Or have you found good Blazor libraries that do the trick? Let me know in the comments!
