Universal Prism

UniversalPrism is a framework for building loosely coupled, maintainable, and testable XAML applications in Windows 10 UWP.

After removal of Prism.UWP from PrismLibrary, I decided to fill this gap with UniversalPrism which not only replaces Prism.UWP but also adds region support to it, which is my favorite feature of Prism.Wpf.

I hope we can add this to original Prism when the time comes.

Documentaion

UniversalPrism is a fork of Prism with footprints of Template10, so to understand how it works you can read Prism's documents.

Installation

Install-Package UniversalPrism

Bootstrapping your app

Update your app.xaml.cs file

sealed partial class App : UniversalPrism.Unity.UnityApplicationBase
{
    public App()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    protected override void RegisterTypes(
        UniversalPrism.Core.Container.IContainerRegistry containerRegistry)
    {
        base.RegisterTypes(containerRegistry);
        //register your types here to the container
        //example :
        //containerRegister.RegisterType<IMyService, MyService>();
    }

    protected override DependencyObject CreateShell()
    {
        var rm = Container.Resolve<RegionManager>();
        if (!(Window.Current.Content is ContentControl contentControl))
        {
            // Create root region control
            contentControl = new ContentControl
            {
                HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Stretch,
                VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Stretch,
                HorizontalContentAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Stretch,
                VerticalContentAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Stretch
            };
        }
        // remove root region if exists
        if (rm.Regions.ContainsRegionWithName("Root"))
        {
            rm.Regions.Remove("Root");
        }
        RegionManager.SetRegionName(contentControl, "Root");
        return contentControl;
    }

    protected override void InitializeShell(DependencyObject appShell)
    {
        base.InitializeShell(appShell);
        if (appShell is ContentControl contentControl)
        {
            Window.Current.Content = contentControl;
        }
    }

    protected override Task OnStartAsync(StartArgs startArgs)
    {
        // Navigate to your main view
        var regionManager = Container.Resolve<IRegionManager>();
        regionManager.AddToRegion("Root", Container.Resolve<MainView>());
        regionManager.RequestNavigate("Root", "MainView", new NavigationParameters
        {
            { "StartArgs", startArgs }
        });

        Window.Current.Activate();
        return Task.CompletedTask;
    }
}
