Getting Started

Installation

To use this package, simply install the NuGet package PinCodes.Authorization.Maui in your .NET MAUI project. In Visual Studio, you can do this by right-clicking on your project and selecting "Manage NuGet Packages". From there, search for "PinCodes.Authorization.Maui" and install the latest version.

dotnet add package PinCodes.Authorization.Maui

Once the package is installed, you can add a PIN Code Page to your application.

Usage

Create a new ContentPage in your .NET MAUI project and add a reference to the CodePage namespace in your file:

xmlns:pinCodeAuthorization="clr-namespace:PinCodes.Authorization.Views.Pages;assembly=PinCodes.Authorization.Maui"

Now, instead of having a ContentPage in your XAML file, you need to change it to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<pinCodeAuthorization:CodePage
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
    xmlns:pinCodeAuthorization="clr-namespace:PinCodes.Authorization.Views.Pages;assembly=PinCodes.Authorization.Maui"
    x:Class="MAUI.App.Views.MyPinCodePage">
    
</pinCodeAuthorization:CodePage>

And the code-behind to:

public partial class MyPinCodePage : PinCodes.Authorization.Views.Pages.CodePage
{
   public MyPinCodePage()
   {
      InitializeComponent();
   }
}

Command Callback

REMEMBER, be sure to provide a command callback. It will be automatically triggered once the user has provided the entire code. So your XAML file will look like:

<pinCodeAuthorization:CodePage
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
    x:Name="PagePinCode"
    CallbackCodeFinished="{Binding BindingContext.UserCompletedCodeCommand, Source={x:Reference PagePinCode}}">
    
</pinCodeAuthorization:CodePage>

And your ViewModel will look like:

[RelayCommand]
public void UserCompletedCode(string code)
{
    //do something with the code response
}

Customizing the Appearance

This package provides several ways to customize the appearance of the PIN Code Page to fit the look and feel of your application. You can customize the colors and the page's elements.

Header (Above the PinCode Viewer)

You can customize the header on your page by passing it as a StackLayout (e.g., VerticalStackLayout, HorizontalStackLayout), giving you the flexibility to tailor its appearance and functionality to your needs. This allows you to include images, labels, commands, and other UI elements, providing complete control over the header's content and layout. To set up your header, use the Header property within CodePage.

<pinCodeAuthorization:CodePage
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
    x:Name="PagePinCode"
    CallbackCodeFinished="{Binding BindingContext.UserCompletedCodeCommand, Source={x:Reference PagePinCode}}">
    
    <pinCodeAuthorization:CodePage.Header>
      <VerticalStackLayout Margin="0,20,0,40" Spacing="5">
          <Label
              FontAttributes="Bold"
              FontSize="36"
              HorizontalOptions="Center"
              HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"
              Text="Verify Phone"
              TextColor="{AppThemeBinding Light=Black,
                                          Dark=White}" />

          <Label
              FontAttributes="Italic"
              FontSize="14"
              HorizontalOptions="Center"
              Text="code has been sent to +351 912345678"
              TextColor="{AppThemeBinding Light=Black,
                                          Dark=White}" />
      </VerticalStackLayout>
  </pinCodeAuthorization:CodePage.Header>
</pinCodeAuthorization:CodePage>

SubHeader (Below the PinCode Viewer)

You have the option to add a subheader to display more information beneath the code viewer component. Utilize the StackLayout (such as VerticalStackLayout or HorizontalStackLayout) to customize the subheader's look and functionality according to your requirements. This feature allows you to incorporate images, labels, commands, and various UI elements, providing comprehensive control over the subheader's content and structure. To add a subheader, simply assign your customized layout to the SubHeader property within CodePage.

<pinCodeAuthorization:CodePage
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
    x:Name="PagePinCode"
    CallbackCodeFinished="{Binding BindingContext.UserCompletedCodeCommand, Source={x:Reference PagePinCode}}">
    
    <pinCodeAuthorization:CodePage.SubHeader>
    <VerticalStackLayout Margin="0,30,0,20" HorizontalOptions="Center">
        <Label
            Margin="0,0,0,20"
            FontSize="16"
            Text="Didn’t get the verification code?" />

        <VerticalStackLayout
            Padding="0,5,0,5"
            HeightRequest="40"
            HorizontalOptions="Center">
            <VerticalStackLayout.GestureRecognizers>
                <TapGestureRecognizer Command="{Binding BindingContext.ResendCodeCommand, Source={x:Reference PagePinCode}}" />
            </VerticalStackLayout.GestureRecognizers>
            <Label
                FontAttributes="Bold"
                FontSize="20"
                HorizontalOptions="Center"
                Text="Resend code"
                TextColor="{AppThemeBinding Light=#007AFF,
                                            Dark=#19B5FE}" />
        </VerticalStackLayout>
    </VerticalStackLayout>
</pinCodeAuthorization:CodePage.SubHeader>
</pinCodeAuthorization:CodePage>

Code Viewer

The first step is to reference the CodeViewer component namespace in your XAML file:

xmlns:codeViewer="clr-namespace:PinCodes.Authorization.Views.Components.CodeViewers;assembly=PinCodes.Authorization.Maui"

Now it's time to use the CodeViewer property. It's important to decide whether you want to hide or show the code, as this will determine which component to use in the XAML.

If you want to hide it, add:

<pinCodeAuthorization:CodePage.CodeViewer>
    <codeViewer:HideCodeViewer>
      ... CUSTOMIZATION HERE
    </codeViewer:HideCodeViewer>
</pinCodeAuthorization:CodePage.CodeViewer>

but if you want to show the PIN Code, use:

<pinCodeAuthorization:CodePage.CodeViewer>
    <codeViewer:ShowCodeViewer>
      ... CUSTOMIZATION HERE
    </codeViewer:ShowCodeViewer>
</pinCodeAuthorization:CodePage.CodeViewer>

Let's discuss the customization of the CodeViewer. Whether you choose to hide or show the code, the following properties are the same for both options:

Option Type Purpose
CodeLength ushort Specifies the size of the code (default is 4).
Spacing ushort Defines the spacing between elements that represent each character of the code.
ShapeViewer Shape An abstract class that enables you to draw a shape on the screen. You can pass a concrete type like Ellipse, Rectangle, etc.
CodeColor Color Specifies the color to fill the shape when there is a code character for the component. By default, the color specified for the shape will be used when the element representing the code character is empty.
CodeStrokeColor Color Specifies the color for the shape stroke when there is a code character for the component. By default, the color stroke specified for the shape will be used when the element representing the code character is empty.

If you choose to show the code as the user types, you need to use the PinCharacterLabel property. This is a label that you must pass to the library to specify how you want to display the number. Feel free to use all properties available on the label, such as FontSize, FontColor, etc.

Below is an example demonstrating how easy it is to define the properties:

<pinCodeAuthorization:CodePage.CodeViewer>
    <codeViewer:ShowCodeViewer CodeColor="{AppThemeBinding Light=White, Dark={StaticResource DarkModeColor}}" CodeStrokeColor="{AppThemeBinding Light=Black, Dark=White}">
        <codeViewer:ShowCodeViewer.ShapeViewer>
            <RoundRectangle
                CornerRadius="10"
                Fill="{AppThemeBinding Light=White,
                                       Dark={StaticResource DarkModeColor}}"
                HeightRequest="50"
                Stroke="{AppThemeBinding Light=Black,
                                         Dark=White}"
                StrokeThickness="5"
                WidthRequest="50" />
        </codeViewer:ShowCodeViewer.ShapeViewer>

        <codeViewer:ShowCodeViewer.PinCharacterLabel>
            <Label
                FontAttributes="Bold"
                FontSize="16"
                HorizontalOptions="Center"
                TextColor="{AppThemeBinding Light=Black,
                                            Dark=White}"
                VerticalOptions="Center" />
        </codeViewer:ShowCodeViewer.PinCharacterLabel>
    </codeViewer:ShowCodeViewer>
</pinCodeAuthorization:CodePage.CodeViewer>

Keyboard

You must use the Keyboard property available on the CodePage to select the appearance of the keyboard buttons, depending on the look and feel you want to achieve. Don't forget to add the namespace on your XAML file:

xmlns:keyboardViewer="clr-namespace:PinCodes.Authorization.Views.Components.Keyboards;assembly=PinCodes.Authorization.Maui"

The keyboard view has several properties for customization, with two being mandatory (ShapeViewer & BackspaceViewer) and the others optional:

Option Type Purpose
ShapeViewer Button Use this property to define the appearance of the buttons for the numbers. Feel free to choose the size, colors, etc.
BackspaceViewer Button or ImageButton You can pass a Button or an ImageButton to be displayed as the backspace option for the keyboard.
LeftSideButtonShapeViewer Button or ImageButton You can pass a Button or an ImageButton to be displayed as an option on the left side of the number 0. This button is optional; if you don't pass it, the left side of the number 0 will be empty.
RowSpacing ushort Defines the spacing between each line of the keyboard.
ColumnSpacing ushort Defines the spacing between each column of the keyboard.

Below is an example demonstrating how easy it is to define the properties:

<pinCodeAuthorization:CodePage.Keyboard>
    <keyboardViewer:KeyboardViewer ColumnSpacing="40" RowSpacing="20">
        <keyboardViewer:KeyboardViewer.ShapeViewer>
            <Button
                BackgroundColor="Transparent"
                FontAttributes="Bold"
                FontSize="24"
                HeightRequest="80"
                TextColor="{AppThemeBinding Light=Black,
                                            Dark=White}"
                WidthRequest="80" />
        </keyboardViewer:KeyboardViewer.ShapeViewer>

        <keyboardViewer:KeyboardViewer.BackspaceViewer>
            <ImageButton
                Padding="{OnPlatform Default=12,
                                     Android=12,
                                     iOS=22}"
                BackgroundColor="{AppThemeBinding Light=White,
                                                  Dark={StaticResource DarkModeColor}}"
                Source="{AppThemeBinding Light=illustration_delete_lightmode.png,
                                         Dark=illustration_delete_darkmode.png}" />
        </keyboardViewer:KeyboardViewer.BackspaceViewer>

        <keyboardViewer:KeyboardViewer.LeftSideButtonShapeViewer>
            <ImageButton
                Padding="{OnPlatform Default=12,
                                     Android=12,
                                     iOS=22}"
                BackgroundColor="{AppThemeBinding Light=White,
                                                  Dark={StaticResource DarkModeColor}}"
                Command="{Binding BindingContext.FaceIdCommand, Source={x:Reference PagePinCode}}"
                Source="{AppThemeBinding Light=illustration_faceid_lightmode.png,
                                         Dark=illustration_faceid_darkmode.png}" />
        </keyboardViewer:KeyboardViewer.LeftSideButtonShapeViewer>
    </keyboardViewer:KeyboardViewer>
