ObservableProperty - Is there any difference with CommunityToolkit.Mvvm implementation?

[tranb3r]

What is the reason for having ObservableProperty in this package?
Is there any difference with CommunityToolkit.Mvvm implementation?

Hi @tranb3r the ObservableProperty in this packaged is inspired by the CommunityToolkit.Mvvm but the key difference is this is to be usable on BIndableObjects such as ContentView, ContentPage, etc whereas the CommunityToolkit.Mvvm will not work with those because they rely on a different/incompatible OnPropertyChanged() implementation.

Horses for courses. You can mix CommunityToolkit.Mvvm RelayCommandAttribute with SQuan.Helpers.Maui.Mvvm. I've put various examples demonstrating this.

@stephenquan Thank you for this answer, however I must be missing something...
I've been using ObservableProperty from CommunityToolkit.Mvvm for a long time, and so far it has worked perfectly in my maui app.
However, I'm only using ObservableProperty in view-models, and actually I do not understand why you're mentionning BindableObjects.
Could you please provide an example for the key difference you're mentionning?

[stephenquan]

Yes, the CommunityToolkit.Mvvm is perfect for a view model. Keep using that.

Refer to my WIKI post https://github.com/stephenquan/SQuan.Helpers.Maui/wiki/MVVM#count-example for how it can be applied to a bindable object such as ContentPage.
