Singulink UI Toolkit

Overview

UI Toolkit provides a variety of complimentary MVVM and XAML-based components that help streamline complex UI development scenarios. It is currently focused on WinUI and Uno-based applications but some components are UI framework-agnostic. Details of each component are provided below.

This package is part of our Singulink Libraries collection. Visit https://github.com/Singulink to see our full list of publicly available libraries and other open-source projects.

Components

Singulink.UI.Navigation

Designed for handling MVVM-based applications with complex deep-linked navigation, with a strong emphasis on maintainability, separation of concerns and full testability of view models. The base library is not tied to any particular UI framework and can be referenced from framework-agnostic view model projects, but currently only WinUI/Uno-specific implementations of the base library types are provided via the Singulink.UI.Navigation.WinUI package to do the actual navigation and routing in the UI app layer.

Supported Platforms: .NET 8.0+, WinUI (WinAppSDK 1.7+), Uno Platform 6.0+

Singulink.UI.Xaml.WinUI

Contains useful XAML extensions (behaviors, converters, static convert methods for use with x:Bind) for WinUI and Uno-based applications.

Supported Platforms: .NET 8.0+, WinUI (WinAppSDK 1.7+), Uno Platform 6.0+

Singulink.UI.Tasks

Provides a DI-friendly and UI framework-agnostic task runner/dispatcher with integrated support for managing UI busy-state while tasks are running. Supports running "fire-and-forget" tasks that can be tracked and fully tested with exceptions being propagated back to the UI thread, avoiding frowned upon async void methods for things like event handlers.

Supported Platforms: .NET 8.0+, any UI framework (i.e. UWP/WinUI, Uno Platform, Avalonia, WPF, etc)
