Avalonia Viewmodels Zafiro

If you're building Avalonia apps and tired of wrestling with ViewModel boilerplate, this gives you a solid pattern using ReactiveUI and Zafiro's toolkit. The real value is in the wizard scaffolding with SlimWizard and WizardBuilder, which lets you build multi-step flows declaratively instead of managing state machines by hand. It also covers the IEnhancedCommand pattern for progress reporting and automatic section discovery with attributes. The Angor project examples (CreateProjectFlowV2.cs and HomeViewModel.cs) show how this actually looks in production code. It's opinionated but in a good way, especially if you're already in the ReactiveUI ecosystem and need to build complex workflows without losing your mind.

Avalonia ViewModels with Zafiro

This skill provides a set of best practices and patterns for creating ViewModels, Wizards, and managing navigation in Avalonia applications, leveraging the power of ReactiveUI and the Zafiro toolkit.

Core Principles

Functional-Reactive Approach: Use ReactiveUI (ReactiveObject, WhenAnyValue, etc.) to handle state and logic.
Enhanced Commands: Utilize IEnhancedCommand for better command management, including progress reporting and name/text attributes.
Wizard Pattern: Implement complex flows using SlimWizard and WizardBuilder for a declarative and maintainable approach.
Automatic Section Discovery: Use the [Section] attribute to register and discover UI sections automatically.
Clean Composition: map ViewModels to Views using DataTypeViewLocator and manage dependencies in the CompositionRoot.
