MVVMCross Code Snippets for Visual Studio? - mvvmcross

Question

where can I download the snippets for Visual Studio, the likes pf pmvx, cmvx and others?
I though those would be available on the github projects, but can't find them...

Answer 1

I've already created my own. Please remember that these are ReSharper's template.
mvxcom -> for Command
#region $region$ command
private MvxCommand _$NAME$Command;
public ICommand $PNAME$Command
{
get
{
_$NAME$Command = _$NAME$Command ?? new MvxCommand(Do$PNAME$Command);
return _$NAME$Command;
}
}
private void Do$PNAME$Command()
{
$END$
}
#endregion
mvxprop -> for Properties
#region $region$
private $TYPE$ _$NAME$;
public $TYPE$ $PNAME$
{
get { return _$NAME$; }
set { _$NAME$ = value; RaisePropertyChanged(() => $PNAME$); }
}
#endregion
$END$
mvxset -> Binding Set
var set = this.CreateBindingSet<$VIEW$, $VIEW$Model>();
set.Bind($ELEMENT$).To(vm => vm$END$);
set.Apply();
You can add them to your ReSharper using ReSharper>Template Explorer>Live Templates>New Template.
Please feel free to change them however you desire.

And here's the native VS version of the snippets based on Aboo's answer above.

Answer 3

If I'm correct in my presumption, you're referring to the shortcuts that Stuart uses in his demos for MvvmCross. These are snippets of code that he has written and assigned to shortcuts using ReSharper and are not publicly available, though if you asked nicely they can be exported and shared. Of course you could always make your own 'Live Template' using this tutorial

Answer 4

I modified #Coasty's answer to include an async command adapted from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17187113/how-can-i-use-async-in-an-mvvmcross-view-model and changed the shortcuts so they no longer collide with the mvx namespaces.
