How To Use

Refer to the sample to have a better understanding of package capabilities. Bellow you can find the most common features and how to use them

</br>

Localization Service

The package provides a set of tools to implement localization in your app:

  • ILocalizationService: Interface for the localization service. The interface exists to make it easier to use iwith IOC and to override the base implementation
  • ResourceManagerLocalizationService: Implementation of the ILocalizationService using resource files (.resx)
builder.Services.AddSingleton<ILocalizationService>(new ResourceManagerLocalizationService(AppResources.ResourceManager, SupportedLanguages.DefaultLanguage));
  • TranslationMarkup: XAML markup that provides an easy way to apply the translation directly in XAML
<ContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             xmlns:zoft="http://zoft.maui.extensions"
             x:Class="zoft.MauiExtensions.Sample.Views.LocalizationView"
             Title="{zoft:Translate LocalizationPage_Title}">
    ...
    ...
    <ScrollView>
        <VerticalStackLayout Spacing="10">
            <Label Text="{zoft:Translate LocalizationPage_Label1}" FontSize="16" FontAttributes="Bold"/>
            <Label Text="{zoft:Translate LocalizationPage_Label2}" />
            <Label Text="{zoft:Translate LocalizationPage_Label3}" FontAttributes="Italic" BackgroundColor="LightGray"/>
        </VerticalStackLayout>
    </ScrollView>
    ...
</ContentPage>

</br>

MainThread Service

At current time, the MAUI essentials implementation of MainThread is not working for Windows. This package provides a wrapper interface IMainThreadService and an implementation for all platforms, including Windows. To use, you just need to register the correct service depending of the platform:

private static MauiAppBuilder RegisterServices(this MauiAppBuilder builder)
{
    #if WINDOWS
    builder.Services.AddSingleton<IMainThreadService, Platforms.Windows.Services.WindowsMainThreadService>();
    #else
    builder.Services.AddSingleton<IMainThreadService, MainThreadService>();
    #endif

    return builder;
}

</br>

CoreViewModel

The CoreViewModel provides a set of base implementations to use in ViewModels. This implementation is built on top of CommunityToolikt.Mvvm.ObservableObject. It also uses other CommunityToolkit capabilities, like the ObservableProperty.

Dependency Management

Allows the configuration of properties and/or methods to react on PropertyChangeEvent of a specific property

public partial class DependsOnViewModel : CoreViewModel
{
    [ObservableProperty]
    private string _triggerText;

    [DependsOn(nameof(TriggerText))]
    public string TargetText => $"TargetText triggered '{TriggerText}'";

    [ObservableProperty]
    private DateTime _targetDate = DateTime.Now;

    [DependsOn(nameof(TriggerText))]
    protected void OnTriggerTextChanged()
    {
        TargetDate = TargetDate.AddDays(1);
    }

}
Busy Notification Management

Base methods to execute code in a background thread, while providing with updated on IsBusy and BusyMessage properties that can be bound to an UI element (i.e. ActivityIndicator)

await DoWorkAsync(() => ..., "Busy Message");

var result = await DoWorkAsync(() => return some_object, "BusyMessage");
