✅ Checklist for Clean Layouts

  • Used semantic containers? (e.g., HeaderedContainer instead of Border with manual header)
  • Avoided redundant properties? Use shared styles in axaml files.
  • Minimized nesting? Flatten layouts using EdgePanel or generic components.
  • Icons via extension? Use {Icon fa-name} and IconOptions for styling.
  • Behaviors over code-behind? Use Interaction.Behaviors for UI-logic.
  • Avoided Converters? Prefer ViewModel properties or Behaviors unless necessary.

❌ Anti-Patterns

DON'T:

  • Use hardcoded colors or sizes (literals) in views.
  • Create deep nesting of Grid and StackPanel.
  • Repeat visual properties across multiple elements (use Styles).
  • Use IValueConverter for simple logic that belongs in the ViewModel.

DO:

  • Use DynamicResource for colors and brushes.
  • Extract repeated layouts into generic components.
  • Leverage Zafiro.Avalonia specific panels like EdgePanel for common UI patterns.
