AlohaKit UI

This library offers an easier way to create drawn controls in .NET MAUI in both XAML and C#.

It includes a new CanvasView control that allows content such as drawn Layouts or Views so that it creates a single native view that creates the native Canvas but the rest of the child elements become fully drawn and managed by the Canvas.

XAML

<alohakit:CanvasView>
    <alohakit:Rectangle
        WidthRequest="50" HeightRequest="50" 
        X="30" Y="30" 
        ScaleX="0.5" ScaleY="0.5"
        Fill="Green" />
    <alohakit:RoundRectangle
        WidthRequest="50" HeightRequest="50" 
        X="120" Y="10" 
        CornerRadius="12, 0, 0, 24"
        Fill="Orange" />
    <alohakit:Ellipse
        WidthRequest="50" HeightRequest="50" 
        X="130" Y="70">
        <alohakit:Ellipse.Fill>
            <LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0, 0" EndPoint="1, 0">
                <LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops>
                    <GradientStop Color="Red" />
                    <GradientStop Color="Yellow" Offset="1" />
                </LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops>
            </LinearGradientBrush>
        </alohakit:Ellipse.Fill>
    </alohakit:Ellipse>
</alohakit:CanvasView>

CanvasView()
    .Children({
        Rectangle()
            .X(10).Y(10)
            .Height(80).Width(80)
            .Fill(Colors.Red),
        Ellipse() 
            .X(10).Y(100)
            .Height(80).Width(80)
            .Fill(Colors.Orange),
        Label()
            .X(10).Y(200)
            .Height(20).Width(100)
            .Text("Label"),
    });

This way, instead of needing to use the .NET MAUI Graphics Canvas extension methods, you use XAML or C# in a similar way to how you would normally create UI in .NET MAUI.

What if it could be even simpler?

You also have the From Figma to AlohaKit UI tool available.

Turns your Figma design into AlohaKit UI code.
