TipCalc - Summary

Edit

Over the course of these articles, we’ve covered the complete Tip Calc app on many platforms, used a .NET Standard library to share code and took advantage of the MVVM pattern to structure our solution.

Summary

We really hope this tutorial was simple and easy to follow.

Just to recap what we did:

For the Core, we:

  • Created a .NET Standard 2 library
  • Added the MvvmCross package
  • Added a service: - ICalculatorService
  • Added our TipViewModel which exposed several properties to be consumed
  • Added our App class, which wired the services together and defined an IMvxAppStart

For each platform, we generally went through a process like:

  • Created a platform specific project
  • Added the MvvmCross package
  • Modified the platform-specific ‘Application’ to let MvvmCross be initialized
  • Used the default provided Setup class for that platform
  • Created a Views folder
  • Added a platform specific TipView, which inherited from something beginning with Mvx
  • Modified the layout for that View and added some widgets
  • Added data-binding to the platform view, targeting the TipViewModel properties
  • Pressed ‘Run’ :)

Generally, these same steps are what you’ll follow for each MvvmCross application you want to make.

This is the final article for the TipCalc app, we hope you have enjoyed the lectures and we hope you have a great time developing apps with MvvmCross.

In order to provide some follow-up content, we will talk about ViewModels and Navigation in the final two articles.
