CodeWF Toolbox

English | 简体中文

CodeWF Toolbox is an Avalonia + Prism modular desktop toolbox for developer productivity scenarios. It keeps the shell, shared services, and feature modules separated so new tools can be added without turning the main application into one large window class.

Highlights

• Cross-platform desktop UI based on Avalonia UI and Semi/Ursa controls.
• Prism module catalog, dependency injection, and region navigation.
• XML-based internationalization with Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, and Japanese resources.
• Tool modules for format converters, log viewing, development utilities, web helpers, security tools, and XML translation management.
• Native AOT-oriented publishing scripts and platform constants.
• Improved menu registration, searchable tool navigation, and safer region navigation.

Adding a Module

1. Create a module project under src/CodeWF.Modules.*.
2. Implement IModule.
3. Register menu entries through IToolMenuService.
4. Register views with RegionNames.ContentRegion.
5. Add the module to App.ConfigureModuleCatalog.
6. Add localization XML files and generated language keys.

See the developer guide for the detailed conventions.

Included Tools

• Log Viewer: opens large log files quickly, renders only the visible range, and follows appended content when tail mode is enabled.
• Format converters: JSON/YAML, Base64, GUID, date-time, and image-to-icon utilities.
• Development helpers: JSON/YAML formatting, shell and data utilities, and small productivity tools.
• XML translation manager: compares, merges, and maintains XML localization resources.
