LayoutExtensions

The library provides extension methods for assigning properties to FrameworkElements and Control in a fluent way. Using the library involves creating the UI in C#, not in XAML files. Currently there are only WPF extension methods. Example:

public class MainWindow : Window
{
	private readonly Label _titleLabel;
	private readonly ItemsControl _itemsControl;
	private readonly Button _backButton;

	public MainWindow()
	{
		Content = new Grid
		{
			RowDefinitions =
			{
				new RowDefinition(),
				new RowDefinition().Auto(),
				new RowDefinition().Star(2d)
			},
			ColumnDefinitions =
			{
				new ColumnDefinition().Pixel(200d),
				new ColumnDefinition()
			},
			Children =
			{
				new TextBlock()
					.Col(0, 2)
					.FontSize(25d)
					.Binding(TextBlock.TextProperty, nameof(MainViewModel.SomeText))
					.Assign(out _titleLabel),

				new ItemsControl()
					.Row(1, 2)
					.ItemTemplate(CreateItemTemplate)
					.Assign(out _itemsControl),

				new TextBox()
					.Row(1)
					.Col(1)
					.FontSize(20d)
					.MarginBottom(10d)
					.Binding(TextBox.TextProperty, nameof(MainViewModel.SomeInput), x =>
						x.UpdateSourceTrigger = UpdateSourceTrigger.PropertyChanged),

				new Button()
					.Row(2)
					.Col(1)
					.Content("Navigate back")
					.CommandParameter(int.MaxValue)
					.Binding(ButtonBase.CommandProperty, nameof(MainViewModel.SomeAction))
					.AddToPanel(contentGrid)
					.Assign(out _backButton)
			}
		};
	
		static DataTemplate CreateItemTemplate() =>
			new DataTemplate(typeof(SomeExampleViewModel))
				.From(typeof(SomeExampleView));
	}
	
	public MainViewModel ViewModel
	{
		get => (MainViewModel) DataContext;
		set => DataContext = value;
	}
}
