maui-architecture

To scaffold a MAUI presentation layer for an existing backend entity, apply the Clean Architecture pattern to generate ViewModels, XAML Pages, and Shell navigation. This coordinates MVVM bindings and centralizes dependency injection within your MAUI application.

No, this MAUI scaffolding approach requires pre-existing backend layers including DTO, Domain, Infra.Interfaces, Infra, and Application. It focuses exclusively on generating the presentation layer and connecting it to your established backend architecture.

The best way to wire dependency injection and navigation in a MAUI app is by centralizing DI registrations in MauiProgram and using Shell routing between List and Detail pages. This enforces consistent architectural conventions across your application.

AutoMapper integrates with MAUI ViewModels by binding them directly to DTOs from the backend layer. This maintains architecture consistency by ensuring the DTO to ViewModel to Page flow remains aligned throughout the presentation layer scaffolding process.

MAUI ViewModel binding fails when conventions are not enforced, such as skipping AutoMapper profiles or misconfiguring DI in MauiProgram. Ensure ViewModels bind directly to DTOs and AppDatabase registrations are correctly wired to resolve presentation layer issues.
