Two weeks ago we showed a sneak peak of Avalonia for Visual Studio Code. The extension will significantly enhance the Avalonia development experience in Visual Studio Code. It features our XAML code completion and integrated XAML previewer, making it easier than ever to build beautiful Avalonia apps.
Today, we are excited to invite you, the sponsors and the members of OpenCollective to try the (extremely) early build of the extension!
Please sign up for the early access here, we will start sending out instructions from the 27th of July.
What’s in the extension?
The extension aims to bring the most common workflows for Avalonia developers. However, the preview will enable the two most common scenarios to kick off the support for VSCode
Integrated XAML Previewer
The Avalonia XAML Previewer is a powerful tool that allows you to visualise XAML code in real-time. It enables you to efficiently design and fine-tune user interfaces, helping to identify potential issues and visualise the impact of changes instantly.
XAML Code completion
The Avalonia XAML in the VS Code is powered by the same code completion engine available for Visual Studio on Windows.
Rich syntax highlighter and contextual code complete will make it lot easier to read and write XAML files
