Avalon

Avalon provides reusable features and components to kickstart crossplatform applications with AvaloniaUI and MAUI (later on).

Library	Decription	AvaloniaUI	MAUI
Avalon.Core	Core library with basic cross-framework implementations and abstractions.	✅	✅️
Avalon.Views.Core	Core library containing basic view related implementations and abstractions.	✅️	✅
Avalon.Views.Navigation	Simple navigation service.	✅	❌
Avalon.Views.PopUp	(planned) Simple popup service.	❌	❌
Avalon.Views.Controls	(planned) Reusable pages and controls.	❌	❌

Note: MAUI support is planned, but currenly not scheduled.

Note: Always use the .Avalonia or .MAUI packages.

Avalon.Views.Navigation

This library provides implementations for view locating and animated navigation.

Features

ViewLocator

// Create the ViewLocator - a service locator may be passed optionally
var locator = new AvaloniaViewLocator();

// Resolve view
var view = locator.ResolveView<MainView, MainViewModel>()

Navigation

// Usage within another ViewModel:

// Push the resolved view 
Navigation.PushAsync(view)
    
// Resolve a view and push simultaniuisly
Navigation.PushAsync<MyView, MyViewModel>()

Available methods

• PushAsync
• PopAsync
• PopToRootAsync
• SetRootAsync

Passing data on navigation

To pass data to another object when navigating, pass an instance of NavigationData (or custom implementation of INavigationData) to one of the available navigation methods. The target object must either implement the INavigable or the IElementWithVm interface.

Initialization

Ensure that .UseViewHelper() is invoked as part of your AppBuilder initialization to activate the library’s functionality.

public static AppBuilder BuildAvaloniaApp()
    => AppBuilder.Configure<App>()
        .UsePlatformDetect()
        .UseViewHelper() // <- Add this line
        .WithInterFont()
        .LogToTrace();
