pkar.MAUI.Configs 1.1.0

This Nuget adds UI extensions helpers to transfer data between UI elements and .Net configuration. It is similar to my other Nuget: pkar.Uwp.Config

It uses my Nuget pkar.NetConfigs, and its definition of various config providers. Used config sources:

1. INI source;
2. Environment variables (which are prefixed with appname);
3. JSON source, also roaming and local
4. command line arguments.

You can init config library using direct pkar.NetConfigs.InitSettings, or via this Nuget:

initialization

    Sub InitSettings(sIniContent As String, bIniUseDebug As Boolean)

Using string with Ini file content, not filename as parameter solves problem with same library used in Platform Uno (and Xamarin) contexts - Android doesn't unpack install files, so files cannot be accessed in standard way.

helpers

For all [Get|Set]Settings*, you can provide setting name (key), or use default (same as UI element name). For GetSettings*, you can provide default value, and for SetSettings*, you can specify if setting should be placed also in roaming (it is always placed in local setting).

    Label.[Get|Set]SettingsString()
    Entry.[Get|Set]SettingsString()
    Entry.[Get|Set]SettingsInt()  // this Int can be scaled (int is saved, but UI get double)
    Switch.[Get|Set]SettingsBool
    Slider.[Get|Set]SettingsInt()
    Picker.[Get|Set]SettingsInt() // selected item index 
    DatePicker.[Get|Set]SettingsDate
