MudElement

A primitive component that allows you to dynamically change the rendered html element.

Basic example

MudElement has an HtmlTag parameter that tells it which html element to render. It also accepts all possible html attributes and passes them on to the underlying element. Furthermore, you can set the parameters Class and Style for styling.

<MudElement HtmlTag="a"
            Class="ms-1"
            Style="color:red;font-weight:bold;"

Interactive example

In this example the rendered html element changes dynamically. This is the main use-case of MudElement.

The underlying tag is 'a'
<MudElement HtmlTag="@htmlTag"
            Class="reset-style"
            href="https://mudblazor.com"
            value="@($"The underlying tag is '{htmlTag}'")">
    The underlying tag is '@htmlTag'
</MudElement>

<MudButton OnClick="ChangeTag" Variant="Variant.Filled" Color="Color.Secondary">Change tag</MudButton>
@code{
    private string htmlTag = "a";
    private string[] tags = new[] { "a", "button", "input" };
    private int index = 0;

    private void ChangeTag()
    {
        index = (index + 1) % tags.Length;
        htmlTag = tags[index];
    }

}

<style>
.reset-style, .reset-style * {
    all: revert;
}
</style>
Obtaining an ElementReference

If you need access to the underlying element, you can two-way bind an ElementReference to MudElement which in turn passes it to the element it renders.
Just make sure that you use use @bind-Ref instead of just Ref so the underlying reference can be passed out into your variable.

<MudElement HtmlTag="button" @onclick="Focus" Style="padding: 4px 12px 4px 12px; background-color: #0067b8; color: #fff;">
    Click to focus
</MudElement>

@*this element is going to be focused through JS via its reference*@

<MudElement @bind-Ref="myRef" HtmlTag="input" Style="border: solid 1px #869E9E; padding: 0px 8px; height:28px;"/>
@code{
    ElementReference myRef = new ElementReference();

    async Task Focus()
    {
        //this js snippet does `document.querySelector(myRef).focus();`
       await myRef.FocusAsync();
    }
}
