How to use

  1. Add namespace to your XAML file xmlns:apes="http://apes.ge"
  2. Add following line of code to your App.xaml.cs in order to preserve component during linking and resolve our namespace schema in XAML
    APES.UI.XF.ContextMenuContainer.Init();
  1. Extra step for UWP: add our assembly to Xamarin.Forms external assemblies in your UWP App.xaml.cs
    using System.Reflection;
    ...
    var extraAssemblies = new List<Assembly>();
    extraAssemblies.Add(typeof(APES.UI.XF.ContextMenuContainer).GetTypeInfo().Assembly);
    Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(e, extraAssemblies);
  1. Wrap your view with ContextMenuContainer, define your context actions inline or bind from your ViewModel
//Inline
<apes:ContextMenuContainer x:Name="ActionsInline">
    <apes:ContextMenuContainer.MenuItems>
        <apes:ContextMenuItem Text="My action" 
                Command="{Binding MyCommand}" 
                CommandParameter="{Binding .}" />
        <apes:ContextMenuItem Text="My destructive action" 
                Command="{Binding MyDestructiveCommand}" 
                CommandParameter="{Binding .}" 
                IsDestructive="True" 
                Icon="{Binding DestructiveIconSource}"/>
    </apes:ContextMenuContainer.MenuItems>
    <apes:ContextMenuContainer.Content>
        <Label Text="Hold me!"/>
    </apes:ContextMenuContainer.Content>
</apes:ContextMenuContainer>
//From binding
<apes:ContextMenuContainer x:Name="ContextActionsWithBinding" 
                            MenuItems="{Binding ImageContextItems}">
    <apes:ContextMenuContainer.Content>
        <Frame>
            <Image Source="{Binding IconSource}"/>
        </Frame>
    </apes:ContextMenuContainer.Content>
</apes:ContextMenuContainer>

Icons

Cross-platform icons are really messy at this point, but you can put your assets to the coresponding folder on each platform and then bind to a FileIconImageSource from your ViewModel. Please refer to the sample folder for example. SVG is preferable.

Known issues

  • Using it in a ViewCell template of ListView might lead to issues with recognizing tap/select events from the list itself, so you might consider using TapGestureRecognizer on the template instead

To-Do

  • Configure build scripts
  • Refactor MAUI initialization
  • Add visibility property
  • Add highlight property
  • Add support for shortcuts
  • Add support of accessability features
  • Add support for submenus and separators
  • Add font icons
  • Cover it all with tests
