I've delegated this to content author @tophpalmer to review and share his valuable insights.

There are 23 c# samples

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/samples/browse/?expanded=azure&products=azure-communication-services&languages=csharp

We need to have Blazor samples in the following 3 categories

• Voice and video calling sample
• Chat sample
• SMS message

We need UI Library overview for Blazor
UI library overview

To start with, gather Blazor samples from github communities and group them to these 3 categories

Thinking holistic towards the lack of Blazor examples.

Voice and video calling sample, like many Microsoft examples, use react instead of Microsoft's NEXT GENERATION WEB technology: Blazor

Instead of addressing this in a narrow sense, one React sample one at a time, there needs documentation on how to migrate React samples to Blazor.

Recommendations

• Start with Azure Docs, through collaboration between Microsoft and the community Blazor experts to write the best practice in migrating React to Blazor.
• Searching the internet will indicate that such articles exist but are not available through Azure Docs.
• The lack of Blazor samples continues to support the industry's bias towards other frameworks e.g. React, Angular instead of Microsoft's mission to transform Web technology through Blazor
• These React samples are component-based and designed using Flux pattern. There need to be more Azure Docs on these topics: Blazor is component-based and Fluxor is the leading .NET framework to implement Flux pattern for the .NET Web community.
