A toolkit and example for mono-repo style WindowsAppSdk development with Visual Studio.
“DroidNet” is envisioned as a comprehensive suite of sub-projects aimed at automating and streamlining the development, testing, and continuous integration of WinUI apps. “DroidNet” is designed to be a robust and comprehensive solution for developing WinUI applications. Its focus on automation and quality assurance, combined with its modular architecture, makes it a powerful tool for any developer working with WinUI and WinAppSDK. Happy coding!
"DroidNet" has been designed with a focus on the following features:
-
Automation: Automate repetitive tasks in your development process, such as building, testing, and deployment.
-
Modularity: The project has been structured as a mono-repo, allowing for easy management and separation of concerns between different sub-projects.
-
Quality Assurance: Includes built-in tools for code linting and formatting, as well as pre-commit hooks to ensure code quality before commits.
-
Integration with WinUI and WinAppSDK: The project is designed to work seamlessly with WinUI and WinAppSDK, allowing developers to leverage the latest technologies in Windows app development.
The Docking project contains a flexible docking frameowrk for WinUI. Dockable views can be embedded in Docks, which are managed in a tree structure by a Docker. Combined with a pluggable layout engine, the docking tree can be rendered into dock panels which can be attached to the workspace edges or relative to other docks.
Similar to what Angular does in a web application, the Router provides a routing frameowrk to navigate within the WinUI application using URIs. With the provided source generators, it is easy to declare views, view models, and wire them together. The routing configuration is completely declarative and follows the same principles than Angular.
The Hosting project offers an integration with .Net Host and the DryIoc container. The source generators automate the injection of services and view models and a view locator service makes it intuitive to locate a view for a particular view model.
To get started with "DroidNet", you'll need to have Visual Studio installed on
your machine. You can then clone the repository and open the solution in Visual
Studio to start developing. Simply use the open.cmd script in any of the folders
to generate the solution file and open it in Visual Studio.
