Members of the community are rebooting this library under the guidance of the Xamarin team. The Xamarin Community Toolkit is a collection of common elements for mobile development with Xamarin.Forms that people tend to replicate across multiple apps. It simplifies and demonstrates common developer tasks when building apps with Xamarin.Forms. If you're looking for the historical code to reference, please check the **legacy** branch.
If you like to live dangerously, you can use our [nightly](https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/xamarin/public/_packaging/XamarinCommunityToolkitNightly/nuget/v3/index.json) feed to try out the latest and greatest.
* NuGet Official Releases: [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xamarin.CommunityToolkit/)
If you're using XAML, you can add this namespace to your root node to get access to all the goodness the Toolkit has to offer without having to add all kinds of namespaces seperately: `xmlns:xct="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2020/toolkit"`. I.e.:
The documentation is still under construction, but we've published the most important things over at [Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/community-toolkit/). If you want to contribute some of the missing bits you can do this over at the [official Docs repo](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/xamarin-communitytoolkit) as contributions are very much welcomed!
If you have one or more of these common pieces of code that you are always replicating across apps, don't hesitate to contribute! We aim to be the first NuGet package you install when creating a new Xamarin.Forms app!
Please have a look at our [contribution guide](CONTRIBUTING.md) before you get started, as well as some information on [the wiki](https://github.com/xamarin/XamarinCommunityToolkit/wiki/Contributing-to-XamarinCommunityToolkit). Also take note of the [Code of Conduct](https://dotnetfoundation.org/code-of-conduct) we adhere to.
To structure our project, we have adopted a range of namespaces. You can find them below with a short description of what you will find where. For simply consuming the Toolkit in XAML you can use our simplified namespace. See the Getting Started section above.
As a part of the .NET Foundation, we have adopted the [.NET Foundation Code of Conduct](https://dotnetfoundation.org/code-of-conduct). Please familiarize yourself with that before participating with this repository. Thanks!
