NV.Templates.Mobile 0.76.2

Uno Platform Application Template

This is a mobile app project template using Uno Platform and the latest .NET practices.

• It uses the MVVM pattern.
• Code is organized by application layer.
• It comes with dependency injection.
• There are built-in logs and diagnostics tools.
• There is scaffolding code showing sample features. When you run as-is, you get a Dad Jokes application.

Requirements

Visual Studio 2022 with .Net 7 are required.

This template largely relies on Uno Platform, if you want to make sure you got everything installed correctly on your machine, we encourage you to use uno-check, the documentation is available here

💡 It's also possible to use this template for a pure WinUI application, without any mobile aspect. All you would have to do is remove the .Mobile csproj from the generated solution.

Getting Started

We use dotnet project templates to easily create new projects. It simplifies the project renaming and supports conditional inclusions.

Generate a new project

1. Install the template using this command.

   dotnet new install NV.Templates.Mobile

2. To run the template and create a new project, run the following command in the folder that will contain the new project.

   dotnet new nv-mobile -n MyProjectName

   ⚠ The use of periods (.) in the project name is not supported and may result in compilation issues later on.

   💡 If all your projects are regrouped in a folder like C:\Repos, you want to be in that folder. The command would generate all the project files under C:\Repos\MyProjectName.

   The following options are available when running the command.

   • To get help: dotnet new nv-mobile -h

Next Steps

1. Open the README.md and complete the documentation TODOs.

2. Open the solution file from the generated folder using Visual Studio.

   It's located at MyProjectName/src/MyProjectName.sln.

3. In Visual Studio, go to the VIEW menu and open the Task List to get hints on next steps.

   This template comes with several pointers on what you're most likely to change next.
