Stylet is a small but powerful ViewModel-first MVVM framework for Avaloinia UI (.NET 4.5+ and .NET Core 3.0+), which allows you to write maintainable and extensible code in a way which is easy to test. Stylet's aims are to:
- Solve the blockers, niggles, and annoyances which hamper MVVM development without a framework, using simple but powerful concepts.
- Be obvious to people picking up your project for the first time: there's very little magic
- Be easy to verify/validate. The LOC count is low, and it comes with a very comprehensive test suite. The code is well-written and well-documented.
- Be flexible while providing sensible defaults. Almost any part of the framework can be overridden if you wish, but you probably won't want to.
It is inspired by Caliburn.Micro, and shares many of its concepts, but removes most of the magic (replacing it with more powerful alternatives), and simplifies parts considerably by targeting only MVVM and Avaloinia UI .
