This is a collection of tools for making it easier for developers to work with XAML (UWP, WPF, and Xamarin.Forms). These tools include

• XAML Generation (making it easier to create a UI with XAML)
• XAML Analysis (helping you find and fix issues with XAML)
• Roslyn Analyzers (to help with code related to MVVM and XAML)
• Project & Item Templates (to create new apps faster)

Get it from the VS Marketplace

Turn your ViewModels into XAML with a couple of clicks or a drag of the mouse.

The generated XAML is based on common conventions but is highly configurable.

Like Roslyn Analyzers but for XAML. Identify potential issues and use the Suggested Actions to make fixes.

You can also create your own Custom Analyzers and run the analysis as part of a Build/CI process with this NuGet package.

• Doing something is better than doing nothing.
• The toolkit can't generate the final XAML as every app requires unique customization.
• Everything that is output should be configurable.
• C# and VB.NET are supported equally.
• The toolkit won't do things that Visual Studio can already do. (Without very good reason.)
• This toolkit is focused specifically on tooling for working with XAML. It will not include controls, etc.

The Rapid XAML Toolkit (RXT) was started as a sister project to Windows Template Studio (WinTS).
It was oringinally created in partnership with Microsoft (that's why github.com/microsoft/rapid-xaml-toolkit redirects here) but is now primarily cared for by Matt Lacey.
