How deeply does Pro ASP.NET Core 7, Tenth Edition cover generic template component?

Explains generic parameters, typed data, render fragments, iteration, and added sorting or highlighting features.

Generic template component

As explained in Pro ASP.NET Core 7, Tenth Edition

A generic template component is a reusable Blazor component parameterized by a data type and a rendering template for values of that type.

A generic template component is a reusable Blazor component parameterized by a data type and a rendering template. It receives a sequence of typed objects, generates content for each object, and can add shared behavior such as sorting or highlighting. section 34.3.2

Define the component around three pieces:

@typeparam RowType declares the row data type. section 34.3.2
A RowData parameter of type IEnumerable<RowType> supplies the values. section 34.3.2

Reusable people table

Use <TableTemplate RowType="Person" RowData="People"> with a Header fragment and a RowTemplate Context="p". The same component can then render departments by changing the type, data sequence, and row markup.
