Motivation

Razor Components vs. View Components

Traditional Asp.net MVC development often involves the use of View Components to create modular and reusable UI elements. While View Components serve their purpose, Razor Components offer several advantages:

1. Code Reusability: Razor Components promote better code reuse by encapsulating both the UI and the code logic into a single component. This leads to cleaner and more maintainable code.

2. Separation of Concerns: Razor Components follow a component-based architecture, separating concerns between UI and logic. This improves code organization and makes it easier to manage complex applications.

3. Consistent Syntax: Razor Components use the same syntax as Razor views, making it easier for developers familiar with Asp.net MVC to transition and maintain a consistent coding style.

4. Strongly Typed: Razor Components benefit from the strongly typed nature of C#, providing compile-time checking and improved developer productivity.

Why Rizzy?

Rizzy combines the strengths of Razor Components with the seamless integration of HTMX, offering a powerful solution for Asp.net MVC developers looking to enhance their applications with modern UI development practices.
