# Avalonia ViewModels with Zafiro This skill provides a set of best practices and patterns for creating ViewModels, Wizards, and managing navigation in Avalonia applications, leveraging the power of **ReactiveUI** and the **Zafiro** toolkit. ## Core Principles 1. **Functional-Reactive Approach**: Use ReactiveUI (`ReactiveObject`, `WhenAnyValue`, etc.) to handle state and logic. 2. **Enhanced Commands**: Utilize `IEnhancedCommand` for better command management, including progress reporting and name/text attributes. 3. **Wizard Pattern**: Implement complex flows using `SlimWizard` and `WizardBuilder` for a declarative and maintainable approach. 4. **Automatic Section Discovery**: Use the `[Section]` attribute to register and discover UI sections automatically. 5. **Clean Composition**: map ViewModels to Views using `DataTypeViewLocator` and manage dependencies in the `CompositionRoot`. ## Guides - [ViewModels & Commands](viewmodels.md): Creating robust ViewModels and handling commands. - [Wizards & Flows](wizards.md): Building multi-step wizards with `SlimWizard`. - [Navigation & Sections](navigation_sections.md): Managing navigation and section-based UIs. - [Composition & Mapping](composition.md): Best practices for View-ViewModel wiring and DI. ## Example Reference For real-world implementations, refer to the **Angor** project: - `CreateProjectFlowV2.cs`: Excellent example of complex Wizard building. - `HomeViewModel.cs`: Simple section ViewModel using functional-reactive commands.
