Essentials

Getting Started

Prism.Plugin.Essentials is built around the idea that you should be able to have an abstraction layer for your applications that makes your code more portable with the ability to adapt over time. Whether you want to take code from your legacy WPF application and bring it across to .NET MAUI or Uno Platform or migrate from one platform to another.

The API is generally inspired by a combination of Xamarin/.NET MAUI Essentials and in the case of the Stores is inspired by one of our favorite libraries Shiny.NET.

.NET MAUI

Be sure to install Prism.Plugin.Essentials.Maui

builder.UseMauiApp<App>()
    .UsePrism(prism => prism.UsePrismEssentials())

WPF

Be sure to install Prism.Plugin.Essentials.Wpf

protected override void RegisterTypes(IContainerRegistry containerRegistry)
{
    containerRegistry.UsePrismEssentials();
}

Uno Platform

Be sure to install Prism.Plugin.Essentials.Uno.WinUI

protected override void ConfigureApp(IApplicationBuilder builder)
{
    builder.ConfigurePrismEssentials();
}

protected override void RegisterTypes(IContainerRegistry containerRegistry)
{
    containerRegistry.UsePrismEssentials();
}
