We are currently using MS Silverlight for some sites in SP2010 On-Prem (referenced the .xap files in webparts). These sites would soon be migrated to SharePoint online. Can anyone share the approach taken for replacing Silverlight in SharePoint online?
I had read a bit about MS Blazor, but I don't think it would be applicable in my scenario, since it has to be a client side component. Any help would be appreciated, since I'm not at all able to find any definitive approach anyone has taken for this migration.

ThankYou

You are going to have to rewrite them all over from scratch in client side technology. Sorry, there's no migration path for Silverlight. Those Silverlight web parts have had a good run.

As mentioned, there is no way to migrate Silverlight to another language.

Silverlight was a sort of temporary language until CSS3 and JavaScript. Today, the best way, it to "migrate" manually your Silverlight solution to JavaScript (that can be TypeScript or any client-side language).

Rebuild your "apps" into modern client-side code is really beneficial and you will optimize them for sure.

Take a look at SPFx: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/sharepoint-framework-overview
