[Spec] Shell Flyout Content Template

[davidortinau]

Flyout Content Template

Allow developers to provide a template for the entire flyout.

• Should be able to describe the whole layout
• Developer responsible for header and footer. Any provided templates would not be applied.

<Shell.FlyoutTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
        <Grid>
            <ContentView>
                <Label Text="My Header"/>
            </ContentView>
            
            <ListView ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
                <ListView.ItemTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <Grid>
                            <Image Source="{Binding Icon}"/>
                            <Label Text="{Binding Title}"/>
                        </Grid>
                    </DataTemplate>
                </ListView.ItemTemplate>
            </ListView>

            <ContentView>
                <Label Text="My Footer"/>
            </ContentView>
        </Grid>
    </DataTemplate>
</Shell.FlyoutTemplate>

Shell.FlyoutTemplate

Difficulty : Awesome

@davidortinau I feel like for this scenario we wouldn't use HeaderContentPresenter and FooterContentPresenter

In this scenario we would just allow users to define everything with one template.

If they want to supply their own template for the items then probably just create a
<Shell.FlyoutItemsTemplate>

It seems excessive to make them specify those presenters

[davidortinau]

Yeah, I suppose that's true. Probably not worth trying to integrated in the header/footer templates if providing a template for the whole flyout.

Is there a plan to have this in any of the next versions?

Can every item have an effect (such as a ripple effect)?
