I wrote a mobile app and converted it from Xamarin to MAUI. I am getting a message stating that MessagingCenter is deprecated and to use CommunityTollkit.MVVM. I installed it but having issues converting the code.
This is the original code for MessagingCenter.
public Command MgmtCommand { get { return new Command((Vacation vacation) => { //Unsubscribe from events - precautionary step to ensure that there are no existing subscriptions for the specified events MessagingCenter.Unsubscribe(this, "AddVacation"); MessagingCenter.Unsubscribe(this, "UpdateVacation");
//Navigate to the VacationAddView, passing a vacation if available
Application.Current.MainPage.Navigation.PushAsync(new VacationMgmtView(vacation));
//Subscribe to a MessagingCenter event for refreshing data when a new vacation is added
MessagingCenter.Subscribe<Vacation>(this, "AddVacation", async (data) =>
{
//Refresh the vacation list data asynchronously
await RefreshVacationListData();
//Unsubscribe from the MessagingCenter event after refreshing data
MessagingCenter.Unsubscribe<Vacation>(this, "AddVacation");
});
//Subscribe to a MessagingCenter event for refreshing data when a new vacation is updated
MessagingCenter.Subscribe<Vacation>(this, "UpdateVacation", async (data) =>
{
// Refresh the vacation list data asynchronously
await RefreshVacationListData();
// Unsubscribe from the MessagingCenter event after refreshing data
MessagingCenter.Unsubscribe<Vacation>(this, "UpdateVacation");
});
});
}
}
How do you change it to CommunityToolkit.MVVM so it works as it did with MessagingCenter. I am getting a number of errors.
private async Task NavigateAndHandleAddUpdateAsync()
{
WeakReferenceMessenger.Default.Register<OpenWindowMessage>(this, HandleOpenWindowMessage);
}
private async Task HandleOpenWindowMessage(object recipient, OpenWindowMessage message)
{
switch (message.Value)
{
case true:
Application.Current.MainPage.Navigation.PushAsync(new VacationMgmtView(vacation));
break;
default:
//await DisplayAlert("Alert", "Secondary window was closed", "OK");
break;
}
}
