Getting started

• Install the ServerDrivenUI.Maui package

Install-Package ServerDrivenUI.Maui -Version 8.0.31-pre

• Add UseServerDrivenUI declaration to your MauiAppBuilder and configure it to connect to your API

public static class MauiProgram
{
	public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
	{
		var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
		builder
            .UseMauiApp<App>()
            .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
            {
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
            })
            .ConfigureServerDrivenUI(s =>
            {
                s.RegisterElementGetter((key, provider) => provider.GetService<IYourApiService>().YourApiMethod(key)); //Register which api will be used to get the UI

                s.AddServerElement("MyView"); // Register the visual elements that will follow server driven ui
            });

		return builder.Build();
	}
}
