Introduction

The Learn PrismLibrary repository provides a variety of samples across different framework implementations such as, Xamarin.Forms, Uno, WPF, and Avalonia, all using Prism!

Each of the samples uses DryIoc for Dependency Injection and is based off of their respective Visual Studio template.

About Prism Library

Prism is a framework for building loosely coupled, maintainable, and testable XAML applications in .NET MAUI, Avalonia, WPF, and Windows 10 UWP. Separate releases are available for each platform and those will be developed on independent timelines. Prism provides an implementation of a collection of design patterns that are helpful in writing well-structured and maintainable XAML applications, including MVVM, dependency injection, commands, EventAggregator, and others. Prism's core functionality is a shared code base in a Portable Class Library targeting these platforms.

For more examples, check out Prism.Avalonia end-to-end (e2e) samples, which I also maintain.

Prism.Maui

The Prism.Maui examples currently require the NuGet package, Prism.DryIoc.Maui. If you plan on using just, Prism.Maui, then the startup fluent arguments are slightly different. An example for such a case is scoped on the backlog.

| Name | Prism Ver. | Details | |-|-|-| | Ex 1 - Intro Welcome | 8.1 | Introduction to View/ViewModel registration and navigation. | Ex 2 - Basic Navigation | 8.1 | Sample navigation. | Ex 3 - Splash Screen | 8.1 | (Work-in-Progress) Demonstrate loading screen. | Ex 4 - Microsoft DI (TBD) | 8.1 | Coming Soon

Prism.Forms

| Name | Prism Ver. | Details | |-|-|-| | Ex 1 - Intro to Navigation | 7.0 | Introduction to View/ViewModel registration and navigation. | Ex 2 - Master Detail Page | 7.1 | Navigation using the MasterDetailPage. Xamarin.Forms has since renamed the control to, "FlyoutPage". We're keeping the name for historical purposes. | Ex 3 -Tab Page | 7.1 | Navigation using the TabbedPage user control. | Ex 4 - (Coming Soon) | 8.1 | Sample pop-up and dialogs | Ex 5 - Partial Content View | 7.1 | Prism's AutowirePartialView is a legacy feature that has since been replaced with Region support in v8.x. Reference, this post by Dan Siegel. | Ex 6 - v7.2 Features | 7.2 | Prism v7.2 features (legacy) | Ex 7 - v7.2 Template | 7.2 | Prism.Forms v7.2 Template Project (legacy) | Ex 8 - v8.1 Template | 8.1 | Prism.Forms v8.1 Template Project | Ex 9 - GTK Intro | 8.1 | Basic GTK# project files to get started | Ex 10 - GTK Navigation | 8.1 | GTK# navigation sample | Ex 11 - Shiny.NET Core | 8.1 | Basic Shiny.NET components needed before beginning any Shiny project with Prism.Forms.

Prism.Uno

| Name | Prism Ver. | Details | |-|-|-| | Ex 1 - Basics | 8.1 | Prism.Uno sample targets Linux with GTK, and Windows via UWP.

Prism.WPF

| Name | Prism Ver. | Details | |-|-|-| | Ex 1 - Full App Template | 8.0 | Prism.WPF sample app with Regions, Modules, and navigation (.NET Framework 4.8) | Ex 2 - Region Navigation | 8.0 | Navigation using Regions (.NET Framework 4.8) | Ex 3 - Module Permissions | 8.1 | Module permissions sample using .NET 5 - Based on Brian Lagunas' Pluralsight course

AvaloniaUI Samples

All AvaloniaUI samples are cross-platform ready! That's right, you can use Linux, Mac, Windows, or Windows with WSL.

In these lessons repo, we'll explore how to wire-up Avalonia with Prism.Avalonia and some of the key user controls that Avalonia has to offer.

Whether you're coming from WPF, Xamarin.Forms, Uno, or some other XAML based language, you'll find a lot of exact syntactical matches and similarities. Overall, Prism.Avalonia is a solid tool for production cross-platform applications.

WPF Samples

List of Prism Snippets:

• [X] Prism Library Sample Full App
• [X] Basic Regions with Navigation and Service wire-ups
• [/] Basic Modules (work in progress)
• [ ] Dynamic Tab Regions

WPF - Ex1 - Full App Template

• Main Program
• Module 1 - Login Screen Module
• Module 2 - Basic Inventory Management Module, with personalized services.
• Module 3 - Logging Module, shared by both Modules
• Services - Shared services

WPF - Ex2 - Basic Regions

Demonstrates how to configure regions, perform navigation, and wire up services with Dependendency Injection. There are 2 regions, a sidebar and a content region where the main body of work is performed.

WPF - Ex3 - Basic Modules

Demonstrates how to interact with multiple modules from your main form and share common services, plus personalized services to the module.

Here we'll use basic login system to gain access to our inventory manager

WPF - Ex4 - Material Design

Make it pretty

COMING SOON: MahApps.Metro + MaterialDesign

Semi-Requirements

The project works best if you include the Prism Template Pack. This allows the system to quickly type in code for you and even creates a ViewModel class when you create a new page!
