While nested forms aren't officially supported in Blazor, there are various approaches and resources to achieve similar functionality:

1. Blazor University:

• Forms: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/blazor/forms/?view=aspnetcore-8.0 provides a comprehensive overview of Blazor forms, including using the EditForm component and managing form state. This is a good starting point to understand Blazor forms fundamentals.

2. Microsoft Learn:

• ASP.NET Core Blazor forms binding: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/blazor/forms/binding?view=aspnetcore-8.0 discusses nesting and binding child forms through inheritance of Editor<T>. This approach allows validation and binding for complex nested models.

3. Sample Projects and Templates:

• Blazor Templates (Github): https://github.com/topics/blazor-template offers various templates, including "Complex Form with Nested EditForm" with an example of adding and removing nested forms dynamically.
• MudBlazor (Community Library): https://mudblazor.com/getting-started/installation provides numerous components and features, including a MudForm component with nested functionality. You can find code examples on their website.

4. Additional Resources:

• Stack Overflow: Searching for "Blazor nested forms" on Stack Overflow often leads to discussions and potential solutions for specific scenarios.
• Blog Posts: Articles like "Managing Complex Forms in Blazor" by Daniel Stern (2021) explore ways to handle multi-step forms and nested data models.

5. Important Notes:

• Nested forms require careful management of data binding and validation, especially for dynamic adding and removal.
• Consider using component libraries like MudBlazor that simplify nested form handling with dedicated components.
• Remember to test your form logic thoroughly for different scenarios.

By exploring these resources and approaches, you can effectively create, read, update, and delete nested forms in your Blazor applications.
