NuGet Packages for Xamarin

Well, since I have been working on lots of Xamarin stuffs, I thought it’s sometimes best to list down the NuGet packages that are really amazing and helps you create the boiler plate of your App in a much easier and faster way.

The NuGet Packages

Let’s look at the worthy NuGet packages which are worth looking into.

Fix WKWebView Content Cut Issue

A lot of Devs who have tried integrating UIWebView in the past had the option to fix things like Content getting cut when scrolling to the end.

Generally, when this happens the easiest way is to add padding to the Bottom of the ScrollView. The same can be done by making use of ContentInset. ContentInset is the custom distance that the content view is inset from the safe area or scroll view edges.

Let’s see how to add the same for a CustomRenderer in Xamarin.iOS for Xamarin.Forms:

 webView.ScrollView.ContentInset = new UIEdgeInsets(0, 0, 100f, 0);

Here in the above line, we add the ContentInset to the ScrollView asking it to accept padding of 100f to the bottom of the ScrollView. You can customize it as per your needs.

Happy Coding!
