Avalonia Layout with Zafiro.Avalonia

Master modern, clean, and maintainable Avalonia UI layouts.
Focus on semantic containers, shared styles, and minimal XAML.

🎯 Selective Reading Rule

Read ONLY files relevant to the layout challenge!

📑 Content Map

File Description When to Read
themes.md Theme organization and shared styles Setting up or refining app themes
containers.md Semantic containers (HeaderedContainer, EdgePanel, Card) Structuring views and layouts
icons.md Icon usage with IconExtension and IconOptions Adding and customizing icons
behaviors.md Xaml.Interaction.Behaviors and avoiding Converters Implementing complex interactions
components.md Generic components and avoiding nesting Creating reusable UI elements

For a real-world example, refer to the Angor project:
/mnt/fast/Repos/angor/src/Angor/Avalonia/Angor.Avalonia.sln

✅ Checklist for Clean Layouts

  • [ ] Used semantic containers? (e.g., HeaderedContainer instead of Border with manual header)
  • [ ] Avoided redundant properties? Use shared styles in axaml files.
  • [ ] Minimized nesting? Flatten layouts using EdgePanel or generic components.
  • [ ] Icons via extension? Use {Icon fa-name} and IconOptions for styling.
  • [ ] Behaviors over code-behind? Use Interaction.Behaviors for UI-logic.
  • [ ] Avoided Converters? Prefer ViewModel properties or Behaviors unless necessary.

❌ Anti-Patterns

DON'T:
- Use hardcoded colors or sizes (literals) in views.
- Create deep nesting of Grid and StackPanel.
- Repeat visual properties across multiple elements (use Styles).
- Use IValueConverter for simple logic that belongs in the ViewModel.

DO:
- Use DynamicResource for colors and brushes.
- Extract repeated layouts into generic components.
- Leverage Zafiro.Avalonia specific panels like EdgePanel for common UI patterns.
