This is repository contains an experimental Extension to AvaloniaUI that tests the feasibility of implementing a utility-first css framework like tailwindcss for AvaloniaUI.

To style controls you just some of the classes that are pre-generated by the framework. Scroll down for some examples.

It's a prototype. You clone the repo and start the example app.

A ton of style permutations are automatically generated and added to the resources of the application.

As soon as you add a class, the associated setter is applied.

The names of the classes follow easy to remember patterns and they restrict your choices just enough to get a consistent look without while still being flexible.

Because tailwindcss hits the sweetspot between flexibility and productivity that I am missing when developing native applications.

If you haven't checked out tailwindcss yet, I encourage you to take a look and use it for your next SPA or website. Take a look at their great website at https://tailwindcss.com.

I am not sure yet. It's a prototype.
