An elegant and powerful ViewModel-First MVVM framework for Avalonia, inspired by Stylet.

MvvmElegance

Introduction

MvvmElegance is an elegant and powerful ViewModel-First MVVM framework for Avalonia. It makes development easier by:

• providing essential MVVM primitives like Screen, Conductor, EventAggregator, and more
• launching dialog windows and message boxes easily with the ViewService class
• providing asynchronous methods for common operations on MVVM primitives
• disabling button clicking while calling asynchronous methods on your view models with Actions
• avoiding view-types in view models by splitting the framework into multiple projects.

The project is inspired by Stylet and provides many of the same types, but split into two separate projects: a project you reference in your ViewModel-project and another used with your View-project. This ensures that no view-types are ever used in your view models.

Add support for Microsoft DI

I would love to see support for Microsoft's DI library.

ApplicationLoader not recognized

I went through the manual steps in the Quick Steps guide. I get an error on App.axaml. "Unable to resolve type ApplicationLoader from namespace https://github.com/mrphil2105/MvvmElegance" Have I missed a step somewhere? Any help is appreciated. I've pasted the App.axaml below - BSI is the program name. Thanks!
