Consolonia.Blazor

This package provides the ability to use Blazor .razor files to create console apps using Consolonia.

• Use ⚡ Blazor syntax for Avalonia apps
• 😎 Simpler syntax than XAML
• 🪄 IntelliSense support
• Get free 🔥 Hot Reload support on-top
• See https://github.com/Epictek/Avalonia-Blazor-Bindings

Example Razor file

Things to note:

• Method binding to code behind
• Conditional layout of elements
• Full intellisense for renaming going to code behind autocomplete etc.
• injection of INavigation so you can push and pop views off of the nav stack
• injection of IClassicDesktopStyleApplicationLifetime so you can access Args and shutdown the app.
• HOT RELOAD. simple save the file and your view gets rebuilt and rerendered!

@page "/"
@inject INavigation navigation
@inject IClassicDesktopStyleApplicationLifetime lifetime
