MobCAT Toolbox

What is the Toolbox?

After doing a lot of code reviews, our team realized we noticed a few common issues usually rooted with bad architecture patterns and that led us to create our own best practices list. We decided, why not share this with everyone else so we can all be happy together. The MobCAT Toolbox are .NET Standard projects that can be added to your Xamarin solution to help create a sound architecture pattern and promote maximum amount of code share.

Why use this Toolbox?

As a team, we wanted a standardized shared codebase we could all use. We made this toolbox to use internally for services and setup we used to fix code or start new project code. We are now sharing it with everyone else to use.

The Toolbox can be used with a Xamarin.Forms solution or Xamarin.iOS/ Xamarin.Android native project as well.

When should you use the Toolbox?

Always. As JKR said in Harry Potter, after all this time, Always.

Next Steps

The following sections explain the different parts of the Toolbox and with example usages.

• Services
• MVVM
• Forms

Beyond the MobCAT Framework

Coming soon, we will be sharing other resources that would be helpful to other Xamarin Devs. Here's a sneak peak of some topics :

• UI Testing Guidelines
• Code Review Template
