Method Chaining & Generic

[lukewire129]

Maui AppBuilder before

public static void InitializeFreakyControls(this MauiAppBuilder builder, bool useSkiaSharp = true)
{
       if (useSkiaSharp)
       {
           builder.UseSkiaSharp();
       }
       builder.ConfigureMauiHandlers(builders => builders.AddHandlers());
       builder.ConfigureEffects(effects => effects.AddEffects());
}

namespace Samples;

public static class MauiProgram
{
    public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
    {
        var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
        builder
            .UseMauiApp<App>()
            .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
            {
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
            });
        builder.UseMauiCommunityToolkit();
        builder.InitializeFreakyControls();
        return builder.Build();
    }
}

after

public static MauiAppBuilder InitializeFreakyControls(this MauiAppBuilder builder, bool useSkiaSharp = true)
{
       if (useSkiaSharp)
       {
           builder.UseSkiaSharp();
       }
       builder.ConfigureMauiHandlers(builders => builders.AddHandlers());
       builder.ConfigureEffects(effects => effects.AddEffects());

       return builder;
}

namespace Samples;

public static class MauiProgram
{
    public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
    {
        var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
        builder
            .UseMauiApp<App>()
            .UseMauiCommunityToolkit()
            .InitializeFreakyControls()
            .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
            {
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
            });

        return builder.Build();
    }
}

Method Chaining Pattern Used

Hey @lukewire129

Thanks for the PR, I genuinely appreciate it!

I was wondering though do you think this is needed, I mean I don't mind adding it in the next release it's just that I never really chain my initialization, if you use our controls and want this I can add it for you!

[lukewire129]

It occurred to me that it would be more helpful for future Maui developers to meet the standards by using the chain method in common with all Maui Builders.

Adding this directly to the master was a bit of a hassle so I added this change to an existing PR. Thanks!
