.NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI) is the latest cross-platform framework by Microsoft for creating native mobile and desktop apps with C# and XAML. In order to provide a clear separation of concerns between the user interface and the underlying logic, MAUI strongly encourages developers to use the MVVM design pattern, which fosters a reactive approach to UI development.
Traditional .NET mobile database solutions, such as SQLite, do not offer any support in integrating with MVVM. Realm, instead, is a cross-platform database created with mobile in mind. Its object-oriented paradigm allows developers to interact with native C# object, no ORM or DAO needed, and offers reactivity out of the box.
In this talk we are going to briefly present MAUI and MVVM, and then show how leveraging the power of Realm it is possible to create a reactive app in little time.
