VisualEditor

Avalonia/XAML-based visual editor inspired by FlutterFlow, built on MVVM/SOLID principles with reusable XamlX-powered editing services.

Repository Layout

• src/ – application hosts plus reusable libraries (VisualEditor.Core, VisualEditor.DocumentModel, VisualEditor.ComponentCatalog, VisualEditor.PropertyGrid, VisualEditor.BindingDesigner, VisualEditor.MvvmScaffolding, VisualEditor.ResourceManager, VisualEditor.ResponsiveLayout, VisualEditor.TemplateGallery, VisualEditor.AnimationTimeline, VisualEditor.TestingHarness, VisualEditor.Collaboration, VisualEditor.XamlEditing, VisualEditor.DesignSurface, VisualEditor.PreviewHost, etc.) referenced by VisualEditor.sln.
• tools/ – developer tooling, code generators, CLI utilities, and smoke-test harnesses.
• build/ – shared build scripts, pipeline templates, and infra docs.
• templates/ – starter projects, sample layouts, and gallery assets referenced by the editor.
• docs/ – specifications, ADRs (docs/adr), and program plans.
• extern/ – vendor dependencies pulled as git submodules (Avalonia, XamlX, etc.).

Getting Started

1. Install .NET 8 SDK (see global.json).
2. Clone the repo with submodules: git clone --recurse-submodules.
3. Restore and build once packages/projects are added: dotnet build VisualEditor.sln.

Continuous Integration

• GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/ci.yml) executes matrix builds on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• Azure Pipelines (azure-pipelines.yml) mirrors the same stages for enterprise mirroring.
