Page Navigation using MVVM in Store App

Page Navigation using MVVM in Store App

In a Store app using the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) pattern, page navigation can be implemented using the Frame control and a NavigationService class that handles navigation requests.

Here are the steps to implement page navigation using MVVM in a Store app:

  • Create a NavigationService class that handles navigation requests:
public class NavigationService { private Frame _rootFrame; public NavigationService(Frame rootFrame) { _rootFrame = rootFrame; } public void Navigate(Type pageType) { _rootFrame.Navigate(pageType); } public void Navigate(Type pageType, object parameter) { _rootFrame.Navigate(pageType, parameter); } public void GoBack() { if (_rootFrame.CanGoBack) { _rootFrame.GoBack(); } } }

In this example, we define a NavigationService class that takes a Frame control as a parameter in its constructor. We then define methods for navigating to a page (Navigate()), navigating to a page with a parameter (Navigate()), and going back to the previous page (GoBack()).

  • In the ViewModel for a page, create an instance of the NavigationService class:
public class MainPageViewModel : ViewModelBase { private NavigationService _navigationService; public MainPageViewModel(NavigationService navigationService) { _navigationService = navigationService; } public ICommand NavigateToSecondPageCommand => new RelayCommand(() => _navigationService.Navigate(typeof(SecondPage))); }

In this example, we create an instance of the NavigationService class in the MainPageViewModel constructor and store it in a private field. We then define a command that navigates to a second page when executed.

  • In the code-behind file for the page, set the DataContext property to an instance of the ViewModel, passing in the NavigationService:
public sealed partial class MainPage : Page { public MainPage() { InitializeComponent(); DataContext = new MainPageViewModel(new NavigationService(MyFrame)); } }

In this example, we create an instance of the MainPageViewModel and pass in a new instance of the NavigationService, passing in the Frame control that we want to use for navigation.

  • In the XAML for the page, add a Frame control with a x:Name property of "MyFrame":
<Page x:Class="MyApp.MainPage" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:local="using:MyApp" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" mc:Ignorable="d"> <Grid> <Frame x:Name="MyFrame"/> </Grid> </Page>

In this example, we add a Frame control to the XAML for the page with a x:Name property of "MyFrame". This control will be used by the NavigationService for page navigation.

By using the NavigationService class and a Frame control in this way, we can implement page navigation in a Store app using the MVVM pattern.
