Sincere: A lightweight PDF viewer as Blazor component

NuGet Gallery

Goal

1. Minimize interop footprint
2. Provide self-reliance from UI library
3. Provide versatility in applying UI library

Start

PowerShell

Install-Package LukeYoo.Blazor.Sincere

Shell (FreeBSD, Linux, or macOS)

dotnet add package LukeYoo.Blazor.Sincere

Design

1. Keep it minimum

   • Minimize number of dependencies

2. No overkill

   • Abuse of generic/template does not mean the versatility

3. NO version push of .NET unless "Leading Dependee" is about to do so

   • The current Leading Dependee is here
   • This helps the low-maintenance

Motivation

We wanted the PDF feature only from the Bootstrap library for the app. We also want more PDF feature on top of it.

The utilization of PDF.js in this project was adapted from Vikram Reddy. You can find the original code here.
