Should we change the namespace?

[timunie]

Hi @PieroCastillo ,

I often find my self wondering if a control is from Aura.UI or Avalonia, as both libs share a common namespace. Moreover this may lead to issues in the future:

• What if Avalonia adds a new Control with the same name, e.g. a NavigationView?
• What if another lib also shares this namespace?

Beside this I think if one works with several programmers on the same app and you have the namespace like this:

xmlns:aura="https://github.com/PieroCastillo/Aura.UI"

anybody can just open the link and see the docs and knows where the origin of the controls is 😄 .

What do you think about this?

NOTE: I know that this is a breaking change and will affect many many other programs. I wanted to share my idea anyway.

Happy coding
Tim

u right, this is a very big breaking change, in fact this problem already occurs with Arc Control, but I don't know if that is a good idea

[PieroCastillo]

I think if that occurs I can rename the controls, just adding "Aura" to its name (like AuraTabView or AuraTabItem, in the case of some Avalonia NavigationView I can rename it as "AuraNavigationView")

[PieroCastillo]

maybe... well, I think I can do it, also, it is easy to implement, well I'll implement it

I didn't want to force you in either direction. Just wanted to give some feedback and thoughts from a user perspective. So if you are not happy with the idea keep Aura.UI as it is. 😊

One last thing: If you want to change it, I can do and provide a PR. Just give me a hint.

[PieroCastillo]

sorry, but I don't want to change it, I hope you will understand.

Understood, thank you for the info, 👍
