StaX.Domain

StaX.Domain is a core library built on Avalonia and Fluent Avalonia, designed for plugin development and integration within the StaX application. It provides essential abstractions and a flexible architecture that allows developers to create custom plugins for the StaX platform.

Features

Plugin Development Support: StaX.Domain provides a base class UiState, allowing developers to build plugins that can be easily integrated into the main StaX application.
Modular Architecture: Each plugin is developed independently and can be placed in the Plugins folder of the StaX application for dynamic loading.
Flexible UI Design: Plugins can fully control their UI, making them adaptable to various use cases.

Installation

You can install the StaX.Domain NuGet package using the .NET CLI or the NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio.

.NET CLI

dotnet add package StaX.Domain

Package Manager Console

Install-Package StaX.Domain

Usage

Creating a Plugin

To create a plugin for the StaX application, follow these steps:

Install the StaX.Domain package in your project.
Create a class that inherits from UiState, which defines the UI and behavior of your plugin.

Here is a simple example:

using Avalonia.Markup.Xaml;
using FluentAvalonia.UI.Controls;
using MyStaxPlugin.ViewModels;
using MyStaxPlugin.Views;
using StaX.Domain;

namespace MyStaxPlugin;

public partial class MyState : UiState
{
    public override string StateName { get; protected set; } = "MyStaxPlugin";
    public override string ToolTip { get; protected set; } = "MyStaxPlugin";
    public override Symbol? Icon { get; protected set; } = Symbol.ShareAndroid;

    public MyState()
    {
        StateView = new MyView();
        StateViewModel = new MyViewModel();
    }

    public override void Initialize() => AvaloniaXamlLoader.Load(this);
}

Assemble your project to create a .dll file.
Copy the created .dll file in the folder with the name of your plugin to the Plugins folder of the StaX application. The plugin will be loaded automatically when you start StaX.
