The MVVM Pattern in .NET MAUI

By: Pieter Nijs

Overview of this book

In today's fast-paced world of modern software development, teams need to be efficient, productive, and capable of rapidly adapting to changes to deliver high-quality products, making it crucial for developers to write maintainable and easy-to-test code. The MVVM Pattern in .NET MAUI helps you to thoroughly explore the Model-View-View Model (MVVM) design pattern. The chapters show you how this pattern helps in structuring code to embrace the separation of concerns, allowing for loosely coupled user interface and application logic, which ultimately empowers you to write more robust, maintainable, and testable code. The book also highlights .NET MAUI's capabilities and features, and enables you to delve into the essential components within the framework that facilitate the application of the MVVM pattern. With the help of a sample application, this definitive guide takes a hands-on approach to walk you through both the essential and advanced usages of the MVVM pattern to ensure that you successfully apply the practical aspects of the pattern to your .NET MAUI projects. By the end of this book, you’ll have gained a comprehensive understanding of the MVVM design pattern and its relevance in the context of .NET MAUI, as well as developed the skills needed to successfully apply it in practice.

Community Toolkits

In this chapter, we will explore some of the popular Community Toolkits that have been developed to assist developers in using data binding and the MVVM pattern more efficiently and effectively in .NET MAUI. These toolkits offer valuable components and utilities that can greatly enhance your development experience and help you build robust and maintainable applications. There are numerous large and small frameworks or toolkits that facilitate data binding and the application of the MVVM pattern in your projects. Some of them have a significant overall impact on your code, while others are more focused on providing developers with a set of helpers or components that you typically rewrite for each new project.

Every existing toolkit or framework is the product of dedicated developers investing their time and expertise, and each one provides value to its users, whether or not it suits your particular coding style. In this book, I don’t want to favor any specific...
