FreshMVVM is a lightweight and straightforward MVVM framework specifically designed for Xamarin.Forms. Here are some of its key features:
Key Features of FreshMVVM
PageModel to PageModel Navigation:
FreshMVVM simplifies navigation between pages by using PageModels, which are analogous to ViewModels in traditional MVVM frameworks. This allows for a clean and intuitive navigation structure[2][3].
Automatic Wiring of BindingContext:
The framework automatically sets the BindingContext for pages, reducing the need for boilerplate code and ensuring that the View and ViewModel are properly connected[2][3].
Automatic Wiring of Page Events:
FreshMVVM handles common page events such as appearing and disappearing, making it easier to manage the lifecycle of pages within the application[2][3].
Built-in IOC Container:
FreshMVVM includes an Inversion of Control (IOC) container, which facilitates dependency injection and helps manage dependencies within the application[2][3].
PageModel Constructor Injection:
Dependencies can be injected directly into the constructors of PageModels, promoting a clean and testable architecture[2][3].
Basic Methods on PageModel:
FreshMVVM provides basic methods such as Init and ReverseInit on PageModels. These methods help initialize data when a page is created and handle data when a page is popped from the navigation stack[2][3].
Built-in Navigation Containers:
The framework includes built-in navigation containers for different navigation patterns, such as SimpleNavigation, Tabbed, and MasterDetail. This makes it easier to implement complex navigation scenarios[2][3].
Convention over Configuration:
FreshMVVM follows a convention over configuration approach, which simplifies the setup process by adhering to naming conventions and reducing the need for explicit ...
