Question

Is there an input password eye feature in Blazor?

Answer and Explanation

Yes, while Blazor doesn't have a built-in "password eye" feature directly, you can easily implement one using standard HTML, CSS, and a bit of Blazor C# code.

Here's how you can achieve this:

1. HTML Structure:

- You'll need an input field of type "password" and a button (or an icon) that will act as the "eye" to toggle visibility.

- Wrap the input and the button in a container for easier styling.

2. CSS Styling:

- Style the container, input, and button to look like a typical password input with an eye icon.

- Position the eye icon appropriately, usually to the right of the input field.

3. Blazor Logic:

- Use a boolean variable in your Blazor component to track whether the password should be visible or hidden.

- When the "eye" button is clicked, toggle this boolean variable.

- Based on the boolean variable, dynamically change the input field's type between "password" and "text".

4. Example Code Snippet (Blazor Component):

<div class="password-container">
  <input type="@(showPassword ? "text" : "password")" @bind="Password" />
  <button @onclick="TogglePasswordVisibility">
    <i class="@(showPassword ? "fa fa-eye-slash" : "fa fa-eye")"></i>
  </button>
</div>

@code {
  private string Password { get; set; } = "";
  private bool showPassword = false;

  private void TogglePasswordVisibility()
  {
    showPassword = !showPassword;
  }
}

5. Font Awesome or Similar:

- The example uses Font Awesome icons (fa fa-eye and fa fa-eye-slash). Make sure to include Font Awesome or a similar icon library in your project.

By combining these elements, you can create a functional and user-friendly password eye feature in your Blazor application. This approach is flexible and allows for customization to match your application's design.
