QuestionViewModel Locator Pin
Kevin Marois5-Apr-22 7:48
professionalKevin Marois5-Apr-22 7:48 
As part of my own framework I am developing Service and View Model Locators. Both are done, but I have one problem.

Here's what I have so far:
Interface
public interface IViewModelLocator
{
    object Get<T>();

    void Register(Type viewType, object viewModel);
}
View Model Locator Class
public class ViewModelLocator : IViewModelLocator
{
    // Internal list of View Models
    private IDictionary<Type, object> _storage;

    public ViewModelLocator()
    {
        _storage = new Dictionary<Type, object>();
    }

    public object Get<T>()
    {
        if (_storage.ContainsKey(typeof(T)))
        {
            return _storage.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Key == typeof(T)).Value;
        }
        else
        {
            throw new Exception($"The requested view '{typeof(T)}' is not registered");
        }
    }

    public void Register(Type viewType, object viewModel)
    {
        if (!_storage.ContainsKey(viewType))
        {
            _storage.Add(viewType, viewModel);
        }
        else
        {
            throw new Exception($"An instance of the view model '{viewModel}' is already registered for the view '{viewType}'");
        }
    }
}
App Setup
public partial class App : Application
{
    public static IServiceLocator ServiceLocator { get; private set; }
    public static IViewModelLocator ViewModelLocator { get; private set; }

    public App()
    {
        ServiceLocator = new ServiceLocator();
        ServiceLocator.Register(typeof(IMyService), new MyService());

        ViewModelLocator = new ViewModelLocator();
        ViewModelLocator.Register(typeof(MainWindowView), new MainWindowViewModel(ServiceLocator.Get<IMyService>()));
        ViewModelLocator.Register(typeof(LoginView), new LoginViewModel());
    }
}
Window Code Behind
public partial class MainWindowView : Window
{
    public MainWindowView()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        this.DataContext = App.ViewModelLocator.Get<MainWindowView>();
    }
}
Problem
Everything to this point works fine, except that I don't want to have to call the VM locator in code in the code behind. I would like to use it in XAML. I have seen other approaches where they do this:
x:Class="My.MainView"
   xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
   DataContext="{Binding Source={StaticResource MyViewModelLocator}, Path=Main}">
There are 2 problems here.
  1. It required a resources entry in App.XAML:
    <Application.Resources>
    <core:ViewModelLocator x:Key="MyViewModelLocator" />
    </Application.Resources>
  2. It requires a property on the VM Locator called "Main". Since these classes are going to be in my framework, there won't be a property for each ViewModel that other apps use on the VM Locator.
What I'd Like
It would be nice if I could do something like:
DataContext="{Binding Path="{x:static TestApp:App.ViewModelLocator.Get<???????>()}"
where the question marks represent the type of the window it's in.

Is there any way to this in XAML?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.
