Notes

• This is a work in progress
• I've only tested it with client-side Blazor Wasm
• This is my first ever public repo, if you have any suggestions please contact me on Gitter or create an issue
• I'm not experienced with GitHub Actions or Azure Pipelines if you want to help me with semantic releases and/or versioning please do
• Other things I don't like are:
  • how Enums are used
  • handling JavaScript errors
