Jellyfish VSIX

📦

The Jellyfish Visual Studio Extension (VSIX) provides easy to use project templates for creating an MVVM project using Jellyfish, aswell as item templates for creating Views or Windows using a backing ViewModel and Model.

The Visual Studio Extension can be downloaded on the Visual Studio Marketplace and works with Visual Studio 2017+.

Jellyfish Project

You can create new MVVM Projects using Jellyfish by clicking File > New > Project and selecting the "Jellyfish MVVM Project" under the Category Visual C# > Jellyfish

This will create a new WPF Project with an IInjector singleton instance (See Dependency Injection 📖, an empty Preferences file (See Preferences 📖), a View-Model Locator (See View-Model Locator 📖) and a default Main Window including Model and ViewModel (See Models 📖 and View Models 📖)

Item Templates

Create new MVVM Views by right-clicking the Project, Add > New Item and selecting the "Jellyfish MVVM UserControl View" or "Jellyfish MVVM Window View" under the Category Visual C# > Jellyfish.

Enter a name this View can be described as without a "View", "Control" or "Window" suffix, for example: User

The VSIX will create a new folder for this View, and create the corresponding Model, ViewModel and View (Window or UserControl).

⚠️ Make sure to add the ViewModel to the ViewModelLocator, otherwise the View will not be able to set the DataContext (See View-Model Locator 📖) ⚠️

The Source code for the Visual Studio Extension can be found under /vsix/.
