The truly successful frameworks are ones that empower developers by offering the flexibility of working with whichever libraries and tools are needed based on the platforms targeted. In Daniel ‘s UnoConf 2021 session, he shows us how we can use native APIs on our Uno Platform applications that gives us access to the tools needed to get the job done in case a suitable cross-platform control doesn’t exist.
In mobile scenarios, if you ever have a need to incorporate a purely native view in Uno Platform cross-platform app, there is an option to do so. Uno Platform views inherit from the base native view defined in .NET binding or the native framework itself, so you can incorporate native views into your app’s visual tree. For Web / WebAssembly scenarios Uno Platform provides the tools to allow use of JavaScript libraries that are out in the open such as i.e. Flatpickr, something well documented in our docs.
