MauiReactor is .NET library written on top of .NET MAUI that allows you to write applications in pure C# using an MVU approach.
This is the classic Counter app in MauiReactor:
class CounterPageState
{
public int Counter { get; set; }
}
class CounterPage : Component<CounterPageState>
{
public override VisualNode Render()
=> ContentPage("Counter Sample",
VStack(
Label($"Counter: {State.Counter}"),
Button("Click To Increment", () =>
SetState(s => s.Counter++))
)
.Spacing(10)
.Center()
);
}- Install MauiReactor templates
dotnet new install Reactor.Maui.TemplatePack
- Install MauiReactor hot reload console command
dotnet tool install -g Reactor.Maui.HotReload
If you already installed an old version of Reactor.Maui.HotReload you can update it to the latest using this command:
dotnet tool update -g Reactor.Maui.HotReload
- Create a sample project
dotnet new maui-reactor-startup -o my-new-project
and move inside the new project folder
cd .\my-new-project\
- Build & run the project (emulator or device must be running and configured)
dotnet build -t:Run -f net8.0-android
Under Mac, to target an iOS device/emulator, issue a command like this:
dotnet build -t:Run /p:_DeviceName=:v2:udid=<device_id> -f net8.0-ios
where the device id comes from this list:
xcrun simctl list
- Hot-reload console (in a different shell)
dotnet-maui-reactor -f [net8.0-android|net8.0-ios|...]
- Edits to code should be hot-reloaded by the application --> Enjoy!
