BB5 — Blazor Components for Bootstrap 5

BB5 is a powerful set of Blazor components built on top of Bootstrap 5, designed to help you build fast, clean, and modern UIs with minimal effort.

Whether you're crafting individual controls or assembling full-featured data-driven screens, BB5 gives you the tools you need—out of the box.

🚀 Why BB5?

Building Blazor apps should be quick, consistent, and scalable. BB5 solves the problem of slow and repetitive UI development by providing:

• Multiple levels of abstraction: From low-level UI building blocks to high-level smart components.
• Out-of-the-box UX patterns: Data grids, record forms, action buttons, and layouts that just work.
• Minimal boilerplate: Plug in your model, hook up a data source, and you're done.

🧰 Use Case: View and edit users

// 1. Define a simple user model. Use data annotations.
public class User
{
    [Key]
    public string Name { get; set; }
    
    [DisplayName("Email Address")]
    public string Email { get; set; }
}

// 2. Create list of users 
Users = new List<User> {
    new User { Name = "Alice", Email = "alice@example.com" },
    new User { Name = "Bob", Email = "bob@example.com" }
};

// 3. Use BB5 components to display and edit users.
// 3.1. Table uses reflection to render columns
<Table Items="@users"
       OnActivate="@(obj => User = obj as User)" />
// 3.2. Form uses reflection to generate fields
<Form Object="@User" />

🧩 What’s Inside?

✅ Core Components

Essential Blazor elements styled with Bootstrap 5: buttons, inputs, layout grids, modals, tabs, and more. Fully customisable and composable.

📄 Form

Generate entire forms from a model definition. Supports validation, layout presets, custom field components, and save/cancel logic with hooks.

📊 Table

Dynamic, responsive tables with built-in pagination, sorting, inline actions, and optional editing modes. Just bind a list—BB5 handles the rest.

🛠️ Designed for Developers

BB5 gives you the control you want when you need it, and hides the complexity when you don't. Ideal for internal tools, admin panels, dashboards, and any Blazor project where delivery speed matters.
