HTML5 WebUSB API implementation for Microsoft Blazor

Blazor Extensions

Blazor Extensions are a set of packages with the goal of adding useful things to Blazor.

Blazor Extensions WebUSB

This package wraps HTML5 WebUSB APIs.

Installation

Install-Package Blazor.Extensions.WebUSB

Sample

Usage

• First add the USB services on Blazor IServiceCollection:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.UseWebUSB(); // Makes IUSB available to the DI container
}

To consume on your .cshtml:

• On your _ViewImports.cshtml add the using entry:

@using Blazor.Extensions.WebUSB

• Then, on your .cshtml inject the IUSB:

@inject IUSB usb

And then use the usb object to interact with connected USB devices thru your Blazor application.

To inject on a BlazorComponent class:

Define a property of type IUSB and mark it as [Injectable]:

[Inject] private IUSB _usb { get; set; }

Then use the _usb variable to interact with the connected USB devices.

Note: For now, you have to call await IUSB.Initialize() once in your application. This is a temporary requirement and we are looking on a better way to automatically register to Connect/Disconnect events.
