FluentMAUI.Core 1.0.2

FluentMAUI

a lot of useful components for .NET MAUI projects

Fluent MAUI consists of several nuget libraries. Each library contains components for a specific purpose.

FluentMaui.UI

For examples you can view the sample apps. this can be found at the /samples-directory

First you need to initialize FluentMaui.UI in your MauiProgram.cs:

builder.UseFluentUi(options =>
{
});

In your App.xaml, add the following lines for the styles:

xmlns:fmui="clr-namespace:FluentMAUI.UI;assembly=FluentMAUI.UI"
...
``
<fmui:FluentStyles />

ToggleButton

xmlns:fmcontrols="clr-namespace:FluentMAUI.UI.Controls;assembly=FluentMAUI.UI"
...
<fmcontrols:ToggleButton />

access via Event

<fmcontrols:ToggleButton Text="ToggleButton with Event"
Toggled="ToggleButton_OnChecked" />

access via Binding

<fmcontrols:ToggleButton Text="ToggleButton with Binding"
IsChecked="{Binding IsChecked, Mode=TwoWay}" />

access via Command

you can use the EventToCommandBehavior from .NET MAUI Community Toolkit

<fmcontrols:ToggleButton.Behaviors>
<toolkit:EventToCommandBehavior EventName="Toggled"
Command="{Binding ToggleCommand}"
EventArgsConverter="{StaticResource ToggledEventArgsConverter}" />
</fmcontrols:ToggleButton.Behaviors>

notice: you can find an example for the EventArgs-Converter (ToggledEventArgsConverter) in the samples-app.

ToggleButton Theming

• BackgroundColor: Color
• TextColor: Color
• CheckedBackgroundColor: Color
• CheckedTextColor: Color

WidgetView

The WidgetView is based on the .NET MAUI Border control. You can use it to add any controls as child elements.

xmlns:fmcontrols="clr-namespace:FluentMAUI.UI.Controls;assembly=FluentMAUI.UI"
...
<fmcontrols:WidgetView />

WidgetView Theming

• BackgroundStyleType: BackgroundStyleTypes (Flat, Gradient) - If the Gradient property is used and the BackgroundColor property has been set, then a gradient is automatically generated as the background. The gradient is based on BackgroundColor and becomes darker towards the bottom (15% by default). Alternatively, the background can be set directly with a brush.

FluentMaui.Configuration

An easy way to load appsettings into your .NET MAUI app.

Also, besides the primary appsettings.json, there is an option to load appsettings per platform and environment (e.g. * appsettings.android.json*, appsettings.Debug.json or appsettings.ios.Release.json, etc.).

The filename pattern is as follows: appsettings.{platform}.{environment}.json (platform and environment are both optional)

platforms:

• maccatalyst
• ios
• android
• winui

environments:

• Debug
• Release

configure

builder.UseFluentConfiguration(options =>
{
// LoadAppsettingsFrom-Assembly is optional for ios, macos, winui BUT REQUIRED on android
options.LoadAppsettingsFrom = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
});

• LoadAppsettingsFrom: Define the assembly where the appsettings are located as resource files (EmbeddedResource).
