Installation

You can install the Syncfusion Toolkit for .NET MAUI via NuGet:

dotnet add package Syncfusion.Maui.Toolkit

Alternatively, add it directly in your .csproj file:

<PackageReference Include="Syncfusion.Maui.Toolkit" Version="x.x.x" />

Configure Syncfusion Toolkit

In order to use the Syncfusion .NET MAUI Toolkit you need to call the extension method in your MauiProgram.cs file as follows:

MauiProgram.cs

using Syncfusion.Maui.Toolkit.Hosting;

public static class MauiProgram
{
	public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
	{
		var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
		builder
		.UseMauiApp<App>()
		// Initialize the Syncfusion .NET MAUI Toolkit by adding the below line of code
		.ConfigureSyncfusionToolkit()
		// After initializing the Syncfusion .NET MAUI Toolkit, optionally add additional fonts
		.ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
		{
			fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
			fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
		});

		// Continue initializing your .NET MAUI App here

		return builder.Build();
	}
}

XAML usage

In order to make use of the toolkit within XAML you can use this namespace:

xmlns:toolkit="http://schemas.syncfusion.com/maui/toolkit"

Usage Example

Here’s a quick example to get you started with one of the controls, such as the Cartesian Chart:

The following XAML code demonstrates how to set up a basic SfCartesianChart using the Syncfusion MAUI Toolkit. This code snippet should be included in the MainPage.xaml file of your MAUI project. It sets up the necessary namespaces, binds the ViewModel to the ContentPage, and configures the SfCartesianChart with CategoryAxis for the X-axis and NumericalAxis for the Y-axis. The creation of the ViewModel will be explained in the following section.

MainPage.xaml

<ContentPage 
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
    x:Class="ChartGettingStarted.MainPage"
    xmlns:chart="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.Toolkit.Charts;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.Toolkit"
    xmlns:model="clr-namespace:ChartGettingStarted">
    
	
    <ContentPage.BindingContext>
        <model:ViewModel/>
    </ContentPage.BindingContext>

    
    <chart:SfCartesianChart>

        
        <chart:SfCartesianChart.Title>
            <Label Text="Height Comparison" HorizontalOptions="Center" />
        </chart:SfCartesianChart.Title>

        
        <chart:SfCartesianChart.Legend>
            <chart:ChartLegend />
        </chart:SfCartesianChart.Legend>

        
        <chart:SfCartesianChart.XAxes>
            <chart:CategoryAxis>
                
                <chart:CategoryAxis.Title>
                    <chart:ChartAxisTitle Text="Name" />
                </chart:CategoryAxis.Title>
            </chart:CategoryAxis>
        </chart:SfCartesianChart.XAxes>

        
        <chart:SfCartesianChart.YAxes>
            <chart:NumericalAxis>
                
                <chart:NumericalAxis.Title>
                    <chart:ChartAxisTitle Text="Height(in cm)" />
                </chart:NumericalAxis.Title>
            </chart:NumericalAxis>
        </chart:SfCartesianChart.YAxes>

        
        <chart:ColumnSeries Label="Height"
                         EnableTooltip="True" 
                         ShowDataLabels="True" 
                         ItemsSource="{Binding Data}" 
                         XBindingPath="Name" 
                         YBindingPath="Height">
            
            <chart:ColumnSeries.DataLabelSettings>
                <chart:CartesianDataLabelSettings LabelPlacement="Inner" />
            </chart:ColumnSeries.DataLabelSettings>
        </chart:ColumnSeries>

    </chart:SfCartesianChart>
</ContentPage>

Define a simple data model C# class named Person to represent a data point, such as a person with a name and height, in your application.

Person.cs

    /// <summary>
    /// Represents a person with a name and height.
    /// </summary>
    public class Person
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the name of the person.
        /// </summary>
        public string Name { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the height of the person.
        /// </summary>	
        public double Height { get; set; }
    }

Next, create a ViewModel class in C# and initialize it with a list of Person objects:

ViewModel.cs

    /// <summary>
    /// ViewModel class that provides a list of Person objects for data binding.
    /// </summary>
    public class ViewModel
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the list of Person objects.
        /// </summary>	
        public List<Person> Data { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Initializes a new instance of the ViewModel class with sample data.
        /// </summary>
        public ViewModel()
        {
            // Initialize the Data property with a list of Person objects
            Data = new List<Person>()
            {
                new Person { Name = "David", Height = 170 },
                new Person { Name = "Michael", Height = 96 },
                new Person { Name = "Steve", Height = 65 },
                new Person { Name = "Joel", Height = 182 },
                new Person { Name = "Bob", Height = 134 }
            };
        }
    }
