FreshMvvm Extensions

FreshMvvm makes developing Xamarin.Forms-apps easier, but creating a new Page and PageModel can be tiresome, when all the references has to be set up correctly, and in the correct folders.
Thus I created this Visual Studio Extension that creates a blank FreshBasePageModel and FreshBaseContentPage (with d:DataContext for Design-time binding) with the naming-convention that FreshMvvm uses.

How to install (Choose one)

• From Visual Studio:
  • "Tools" -> "Extensions and Updates..." -> "Online"
  • Search for "FreshMvvm New Item Extensions"
• From .vsix file: (Choose one)
  • Download from Visual Studio Marketplace.
  • Download from GitHub release page.

How to use

• Right-click the PCL-project-root -> "Add" -> "New Item..."
• Select "Forms Blank FreshMvvm Page and PageModel"
• Enter the name of the Page/Page model you want to create. ("Quote" becomes "QuotePageModel" and "QuotePage")
• Click Add

And thats it!

Examples

Example output QuotePage.xaml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<freshMvvm:FreshBaseContentPage
    xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
    xmlns:freshMvvm="clr-namespace:FreshMvvm;assembly=FreshMvvm"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:pageModels="clr-namespace:MyProject.PageModels;assembly=MyProject"
    mc:Ignorable="d" d:DataContext="{d:DesignInstance pageModels:QuotePageModel}"
    x:Class="MyProject.Pages.QuotePage">
</freshMvvm:FreshBaseContentPage>

Example output QuotePage.xaml.cs:

using FreshMvvm;

namespace MyProject.Pages {
    public partial class QuotePage : FreshBaseContentPage {
        public QuotePage() {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }
}

Example output QuotePageModel.cs:

using FreshMvvm;

namespace MyProject.PageModels {
    public class QuotePageModel : FreshBasePageModel {

    }
}

I have only tested with Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2017.
