SimpleToolkit.SimpleShell
The SimpleToolkit.SimpleShell package provides you with a simplified implementation of .NET MAUI Shell that lets you easily create a custom navigation experience in your .NET MAUI applications. Same as .NET MAUI Shell, SimpleShell provides you with:
- A single place to describe the logical hierarchy of an app.
- A URI-based navigation scheme that permits navigation to any page in the app.
SimpleShell does not come with any navigation controls. SimpleShell just gives you the ability to use custom navigation controls along with the URI-based navigation and automatic navigation stack management.
Getting Started
In order to use SimpleToolkit.SimpleShell, you need to call the UseSimpleShell() extension method in your MauiProgram.cs file:
builder.UseSimpleShell();
This method also takes a boolean parameter usePlatformTransitions, which defaults to true and controls wheter platform-specific animated transitions between pages are used.
XAML namespace
All SimpleShell related controls and attached properties can be found in the following XAML namespace:
xmlns:simpleShell="clr-namespace:SimpleToolkit.SimpleShell;assembly=SimpleToolkit.SimpleShell"
SimpleShell
SimpleShell is a simplified implementation of .NET MAUI Shell. All SimpleShell is is just a set of containers for your application content with the ability to put the hosting area for pages wherever you want. This gives you the flexibility to add custom tab bars, navigation bars, flyouts, etc. to your Shell application while using the URI-based navigation.
Let's say we have four root pages - YellowPage, , and - and one detail page - . Shell with a simple app bar and tab bar can be defined like this:
