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

1. Functional-Reactive Approach: Use ReactiveUI (ReactiveObject, WhenAnyValue, etc.) to handle state and logic.

2. Enhanced Commands: Utilize IEnhancedCommand for better command management, including progress reporting and name/text attributes.

3. Wizard Pattern: Implement complex flows using SlimWizard and WizardBuilder for a declarative and maintainable approach.

4. Automatic Section Discovery: Use the [Section] attribute to register and discover UI sections automatically.

5. Clean Composition: map ViewModels to Views using DataTypeViewLocator and manage dependencies in the CompositionRoot.

Guides

• [ViewModels & Commands](viewmodels.md): Creating robust ViewModels and handling commands.
• [Wizards & Flows](wizards.md): Building multi-step wizards with SlimWizard.
• [Navigation & Sections](navigation_sections.md): Managing navigation and section-based UIs.
• [Composition & Mapping](composition.md): Best practices for View-ViewModel wiring and DI.

Integration boundaries

Guide snippets omit imports, interfaces and application services; verify APIs/source-generator syntax against the installed Zafiro/ReactiveUI version. Do not mix field-based and partial-property generator styles without checking compatibility. Use one actual section registration method rather than assuming both are required. Keep the service provider alive for the app lifetime and dispose it and subscriptions on shutdown; handle wizard cancellation/failure before committing side effects. Angor files named below are external examples, not bundled prerequisites.

• CreateProjectFlowV2.cs: Excellent example of complex Wizard building.
• HomeViewModel.cs: Simple section ViewModel using functional-reactive commands.
