Singulink UI Toolkit

UI Toolkit provides a variety of complimentary MVVM and XAML-based components that help streamline complex UI development scenarios. It is currently focused on WinUI and Uno-based applications but some components are UI framework-agnostic. Details of each component are provided below.

This package is part of our Singulink Libraries collection. Visit https://github.com/Singulink to see our full list of publicly available libraries and other open-source projects.

Components

Singulink.UI.Icons

Provides the base types used by Icon Pack Builder, a tool in this repository that generates trimmed, strongly-typed font icon packs from Microsoft's Fluent UI System Icons (via the Seagull Fluent Icons font). Companion packages (Singulink.UI.Icons.WinUI, .Wpf, .Avalonia and .Maui) display the correct glyph for the current flow direction, so directional icons mirror automatically in right-to-left layouts. See the Icon Guides.

Supported Platforms: .NET 8.0+, any UI framework that renders text (Windows Forms, Blazor and others need only the base package); framework packages for WinUI 3 / Uno Platform, WPF, Avalonia 11.3+ and .NET MAUI

Singulink.UI.Navigation

Designed for handling MVVM-based applications with complex deep-linked navigation, with a strong emphasis on maintainability, separation of concerns and full testability of view models. The base library is not tied to any particular UI framework and can be referenced from framework-agnostic view model projects, but currently only WinUI/Uno-specific implementations of the base library types are provided via the Singulink.UI.Navigation.WinUI package to do the actual navigation and routing in the UI app layer.

Supported Platforms: .NET 10.0+, WinUI (WinAppSDK 1.7+), Uno Platform 6.5+

Singulink.UI.Xaml.WinUI

Contains useful XAML extensions (behaviors, converters, static convert methods for use with x:Bind) for WinUI and Uno-based applications.

Supported Platforms: .NET 10.0+, WinUI (WinAppSDK 1.7+), Uno Platform 6.5+

Singulink.UI.Tasks

Provides a DI-friendly and UI framework-agnostic task runner/dispatcher with integrated support for managing UI busy-state while tasks are running. Supports running "fire-and-forget" tasks that can be tracked and fully tested with exceptions being propagated back to the UI thread, avoiding frowned upon async void methods for things like event handlers.

Supported Platforms: .NET 8.0+, any UI framework (i.e. UWP/WinUI, Uno Platform, Avalonia, WPF, etc)
