Get Started with MauiReactor - Component-based UI & MVU for .NET MAUI

Looking for more ways to _not_ use XAML? Check out these videos 👇 Which one do you like the most? C# for Markup Extensions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHSxmWx9YrZpbpo BlazorBindings.Maui: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZanqGZti7N5brs Comet MVU: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2O1nodogq55sMk

Thank you Gerald. Please could you redo Comet video as some new features have been added to the framework

[@mikelopez-tp2ku]

Thanks for the video. Yes, I'm always looking for alternatives to XAML because I loathe XAML. MVU is new to me. I watched your video and pulled up some articles on MVU and it seems to me MVU (Model-View-Update) should be called SVU (State-View-Update). In any event I like it a lot. Combining this with C# Markup is starting to look like a winning combination. I haven't looked into Comet at this time. Thanks again, Gerald. Your videos are always very informative.

[@davidbrenchley]

Would love to do MVU but don't know which framework would be better. Looking at comet, but nothing has been happening in the repository for months. Wondering if Microsoft will pick it up officially. Don't want to pick a framework, build lots then have the framework disappear.

[@lemoncrazedcamel]

The person working on it left Microsoft and hasn’t really done much on it since :(

[@davidbrenchley]

@@lemoncrazedcamel that's unfortunate. From what I saw Microsoft really slated MVU as a good reason to move over the MAUI, but then nothing.

[@obinnaokafor6252]

​@@lemoncrazedcamel But it is already good to go - he even has some apps in apple and Google stores. But PRs and contributions are welcome to Comet.

[@ademineshat]

Net maui should definitely take a look at this. This will make everyone's life easier 😂

[@jfversluis]

Don’t worry, we are. But make no mistake. XAML has a big fan base!

[@homerokzam]

I find MVU much better to work with than MVVM. I like Comet ... but I will study MauiReactor

[@jfversluis]

I think I should make some video(s) on MauiReactor!

[@aguilaaudax1362]

This is great, it would be nice to go deeper on MVU only c#-components with Reactor, thanks from Argentina

[@haskeverheijen6968]

Thanks Gerald for this short overview of MauiReactor. Looks really attractive to use. Awesome!

[@tscholze]

Awesome as alway!

[@RamasamyN-o5p]

MauiReactor is awesome and I like it

[@Brendan2Alexander]

Excellent overview Gerald thank u! Am definitely interested in getting deeper into this, MauiReactor, and Comet.

[@jfversluis]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ahmedma527]

Great. I hope Maui team add this in the framework.

[@jfversluis]

That would be cool!

[@acmesoft]

it's amazing!!! I want more vids! :D

[@jfversluis]

More to come!

[@richardalexanderjimenezrij2197]

Can someone tell me how to navigate Comet? I'm trying to use IStackNavigation and I can't get it

[@martinchr]

Thanks for another video 👍 I would love to see a video about opening the camera as a view inside an app and taking pictures, instead of opening the actual camera app on the phone

[@dwightbennett8746]

Hi Gerald, Great video introducing us to MVU. Can you show a more complex example such as calling a backend web service or data base and updating our UI and State?

[@rikudouensof]

Woa, this is cool. I still love xaml, and use it on more than maui. great stuff, want to see where it leads

[@sistemivolos6647]

Hi, thank you for the video, but how can I automatically lauch the hot relead script when I build the project? Thank you.

[@joaoalen]

I think you can put this in csproj file

[@Brendan2Alexander]

How would u compare MauiReactor to Comet?

[@markoviitanen2671]

Is it possible for you to make a simple video about how to prevent screen lock to activate. I have done Boxing round timer, but the screen goes black after a while and it seems to be tricky to keep it on.

[@jfversluis]

Have you seen the KeepScreenOn functionality? learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/maui/platform-integration/device/display?view=net-maui-7.0&tabs=android#keep-the-screen-on

[@sens1tiv838]

So if it's written in C# it means it's debuggable? I think that'd be the best part. (Sorry if my question is dumb, I'm kind of new to things other than pure C# and WPF)

[@rorydaines3176]

Not a dumb question we are all learning here, If you use MVVM architecture your viewmodels should have all your logic which is written in C# and therefore makes it easy to test/debug.

[@jfversluis]

Definitely what Rory says: this is a safe space to ask any questions! Sorry I didn’t show that, yes, this is 100% debuggable. Check this video where Adolfo shows that himself: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZCunmh3rteYipI

[@SayyadHasan]

Thanks for video, absolutely its very nice

[@jfversluis]

Thank you!

[@niharikasaraswat2181]

How we can disable CORS functionality in web view for xamarin android?

[@jfversluis]

Afaik that is something you’ll need to disable on the server-side

[@niharikasaraswat2181]

@@jfversluis yup but how we can do it in server side can you provide some references

[@Golden_games]

hey I noticed there is no calender view in maui any plans to make or add it

[@jfversluis]

Check XCalendar plugin or one of the bigger control vendors. We have no immediate plans to add it in the near future.

[@Golden_games]

@@jfversluis I tried Xcalendar but the dates were not showing

[@larscwallin]

Looking good 👍 More on this 🙏

[@jfversluis]

Thanks! Will do!

[@josedonizeteoliveirajunior1744]

Very good! Thanks

[@jfversluis]

Thank you!

[@MuhammadNadeem-wj6xd]

Very nice Gerald

[@jfversluis]

Thanks! But in this case Adolfo did all the amazing work! 😄 would you like to learn more about this style?

[@2005Azm]

Fantastic

[@jfversluis]

Glad you like it! Better than XAML?
