Simple project to use navigation in Avalonia 11 with CommunityToolkit.MVVM.

• Avalonia 11.0.2
• CommunityToolKit.MVVM 8.2.1

---

The OG implementation using ReactiveUI.

• https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia.Samples/tree/main/src/Avalonia.Samples/Routing/BasicViewLocatorSample

---

With CommunityToolkit.MVVM

In this sample, the MainWindow.axaml changes the "CurrentPage", which is a UserControl within the MainWindow.

To change the view, we have two options:

• ContentControl (Normal) https://docs.avaloniaui.net/docs/controls/contentcontrol

• TransitioningContentControl (With animation) https://docs.avaloniaui.net/docs/controls/transitioningcontentcontrol

    <Grid RowDefinitions="*,Auto" Margin="10">

        <!-- <ContentControl Content="{Binding CurrentPage}" /> -->
        <TransitioningContentControl Content="{Binding CurrentPage}" /> 
        
        <StackPanel Grid.Row="1" Orientation="Horizontal" Spacing="5" HorizontalAlignment="Right">
            
            <Button Command="{Binding NavigatePreviousCommand}" Content="Back" />
            <Button Command="{Binding NavigateNextCommand}" Content="Next" />
            
        </StackPanel>

    </Grid>
