I have a business requirement to build a flyout menu with multiple columns. The menu will have all the basic flyout behaviors bit it has to have a narrow static column on the left side with 3 buttons in it and then have the regular scrollable flyout menu next to it. Is it possible at this time to do a completely custom layout within xamarin forms shell for the flyout?
You could use the FlyoutContentTemplate
to do that.
<Shell.FlyoutContentTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal">
<StackLayout BackgroundColor="Purple">
<Button Text="home" />
<Button Text="dash" />
<Button Text="chat" />
</StackLayout>
<CollectionView
BindingContext="{x:Reference shell}"
IsGrouped="True"
ItemsSource="{Binding FlyoutItems}">
<CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Label
FontSize="Large"
Text="{Binding Title}"
TextColor="Black" />
</DataTemplate>
</CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
</CollectionView>
</StackLayout>
</DataTemplate>
</Shell.FlyoutContentTemplate>
