NuExt.Minimal.Mvvm 0.1.4

NuExt.Minimal.Mvvm

NuExt.Minimal.Mvvm is a lightweight MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) framework designed to provide the essential components needed for implementing the MVVM pattern in .NET applications. This package focuses on supporting proper concurrent operations and does not have any external dependencies, making it easy to integrate and use in various projects.

Features

• Command Implementations:

  • Minimal.Mvvm.RelayCommand: A simple command implementation that delegates its execution logic via delegates.
  • Minimal.Mvvm.RelayCommand<T>: A relay command that operates with generic parameters.

• Asynchronous Command Support:

  • Minimal.Mvvm.AsyncCommand: An asynchronous command that facilitates non-blocking operations without parameters.
  • Minimal.Mvvm.AsyncCommand<T>: An asynchronous command capable of handling operations with generic parameters.

• Simplified Model Development:

  • Minimal.Mvvm.BindableBase: A base class that implements INotifyPropertyChanged, simplifying property change notification in models.

• ViewModels Development:

  • Minimal.Mvvm.ViewModelBase: A base class for ViewModels, providing a foundation for building complex view models.

• Concurrent Command Execution:

  • All IRelayCommand command types (RelayCommand, RelayCommand<T>, AsyncCommand, AsyncCommand<T>) support concurrent executions. This allows multiple invocations of the same command simultaneously without interfering with other executions.

• CompositeCommand Implementation:

  • Minimal.Mvvm.CompositeCommand: Represents a command that aggregates multiple commands and executes them sequentially. This is useful when you need to perform a series of actions as a single command operation.

• Service Provider Integration:

  • Minimal.Mvvm.ServiceProvider: A service provider class that allows for easy registration and resolution of services, facilitating dependency injection within your application.

Installation

You can install NuExt.Minimal.Mvvm via NuGet:

dotnet add package NuExt.Minimal.Mvvm

Or through the Visual Studio package manager:

1. Go to Tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Manage NuGet Packages for Solution....
2. Search for NuExt.Minimal.Mvvm.
3. Click "Install".

Source Code Package

In addition to the standard package, there is also a source code package available: NuExt.Minimal.Mvvm.Sources. This package allows you to embed the entire framework directly into your application, enabling easier source code exploring and debugging.

To install the source code package, use the following command:

dotnet add package NuExt.Minimal.Mvvm.Sources

Or through the Visual Studio package manager:

1. Go to Tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Manage NuGet Packages for Solution....
2. Search for NuExt.Minimal.Mvvm.Sources.
3. Click "Install".

Usage

Example Using AsyncCommand with CancellationTokenSource Support

public class MyViewModel : ViewModelBase
{
    public IAsyncCommand MyCommand { get; }
    public ICommand CancelCommand { get; }

    public MyViewModel()
    {
        MyCommand = new AsyncCommand(ExecuteAsync, CanExecute);
        CancelCommand = new RelayCommand(Cancel, CanCancel);
    }

    private async Task ExecuteAsync()
    {
        // Retrieve the CancellationTokenSource for current execution method instance
        var cts = MyCommand.CancellationTokenSource;
        try
        {
            // Command execution logic
            await Task.Delay(1000, cts.Token);
        }
        catch (OperationCanceledException)
        {
            // Handle cancellation
        }
    }

    private bool CanExecute()
    {
        // Logic that determines whether the command can execute
        return true;
    }

    private void Cancel()
    {
        // Sends request to cancel the MyCommand execution
        MyCommand.Cancel();
    }

    private bool CanCancel()
    {
        // Logic that determines whether the cancel command can execute
        return MyCommand.IsExecuting;
    }
}

Example Using BindableBase

public class MyModel : BindableBase
{
    private string _name;

    public string Name
    {
        get => _name;
        set => SetProperty(ref _name, value);
    }
}

Example Using ServiceProvider

public class MyService
{
    public string GetData() => "Hello from MyService!";
}

public class MyViewModel : ViewModelBase
{
    public IRelayCommand MyCommand { get; }

    public MyViewModel()
    {
        // Register services
        ServiceProvider.Default.RegisterService<MyService>();
        
        MyCommand = new RelayCommand(() =>
        {
            // Resolve and use services
            var myService = ServiceProvider.Default.GetService<MyService>();

            var data = myService.GetData();
            // Use the data
        });
    }
}
