igniteui-blazor

Provides guidance on all Ignite UI for Blazor data grid types (Grid Lite, Flat Grid, Tree Grid, Hierarchical Grid, Pivot Grid) including setup, column configuration, sorting, filtering, selection, editing, grouping, summaries, toolbar, export, paging, remote data, and state persistence. Use when users ask about grids, tables, data grids, tabular data display, cell editing, row selection, column pinning, column hiding, grouping rows, pivot tables, tree-structured data, hierarchical data, master-detail views, read-only data display, or exporting grid data. Do NOT use for non-grid UI components (forms, dialogs, navigation, charts) - use igniteui-blazor-components instead. Do NOT use for theming or styling - use igniteui-blazor-theming instead.

Covers non-grid Ignite UI for Blazor UI components: application setup, form controls (inputs, combos, selects, date/time pickers, calendar, checkbox, radio, switch, slider, rating), layout containers (tabs, stepper, accordion, expansion panel, navigation drawer, navbar, tree), data-display components (list, card, carousel, avatar, badge, chip, icon, progress indicators, dropdown, tooltip), feedback overlays (dialog, snackbar, toast, banner), layout managers (Dock Manager, Tile Manager); and visualizations (Category Chart, Data Chart, Financial/Stock Chart, Pie/Donut Chart, Sparkline, Treemap, Geographic Map, Gauges, Dashboard Tile) requiring IgniteUI.Blazor or IgniteUI.Blazor.Trial. Use when users ask about any Ignite UI Blazor component that is NOT a data grid. Do NOT use for data grids, tables, or tabular data - use igniteui-blazor-grids instead. Do NOT use for theming or styling - use igniteui-blazor-theming instead.

Covers theming and visual customization for Ignite UI for Blazor: choosing and switching built-in themes (Bootstrap, Material, Fluent, Indigo - light and dark variants), customizing component appearance with CSS custom properties (design tokens), using the igniteui-theming MCP server to generate component themes and palettes, applying custom palettes, setting roundness/spacing/sizing tokens globally, dark mode switching, scoped component theming, and CSS parts. Use when users ask about changing the look and feel of Ignite UI Blazor components, applying a color scheme, generating CSS variables, using CSS parts, or customizing design tokens. Do NOT use for grid data features or component configuration - use igniteui-blazor-grids or igniteui-blazor-components instead.

Implement Blazor application views from design images using Ignite UI Blazor components. Uses MCP servers (igniteui-cli, igniteui-theming) to discover components, generate themes, and follow best practices. Triggers when the user provides a design image (screenshot, mockup, wireframe) and wants it built as a working Blazor view with Ignite UI Blazor components. Also triggers when the user asks to "implement this design", "build this UI", "convert this mockup", or "create a page from this image" in an Ignite UI Blazor project.

Implement a Blazing Story story file (.stories.razor) for a Blazor UI component. Use when the user says "create a story for component X", "add stories for X", or similar requests in a Blazing Story (.NET / Blazor / Storybook) project.
