DaisyResourceLookup

Overview

A static helper class providing centralized access to design tokens, resource lookups, and default sizing values for all Flowery.Uno controls.

It provides:

1. Resource Lookup Methods - Safe access to ResourceDictionary values with fallbacks

2. Size Key Helpers - Convert DaisySize enum to resource key strings

3. Default Sizing Values - Hardcoded fallbacks for all control dimensions

All Flowery.Uno controls use this class internally to ensure consistent sizing and theming.

Resource Lookup Methods

These methods safely retrieve values from a ResourceDictionary, searching merged dictionaries recursively.

Basic Lookups (with ResourceDictionary)

using Flowery.Theming;

var resources = Application.Current.Resources;

// Get a double value with fallback
double height = DaisyResourceLookup.GetDouble(resources, "DaisySizeMediumHeight", 28);

// Get a Thickness
Thickness padding = DaisyResourceLookup.GetThickness(resources, "DaisyButtonMediumPadding", new Thickness(10, 0));

// Get a CornerRadius
CornerRadius radius = DaisyResourceLookup.GetCornerRadius(resources, "DaisyCornerRadiusMedium", new CornerRadius(6));

// Get a Brush
Brush primary = DaisyResourceLookup.GetBrush(resources, "DaisyPrimaryBrush", new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue));

Convenience Overloads (uses Application.Current.Resources)

// Shorter syntax when using app-level resources
double height = DaisyResourceLookup.GetDouble("DaisySizeMediumHeight", 28);
Brush primary = DaisyResourceLookup.GetBrush("DaisyPrimaryBrush");

Low-Level Access

// Check if a resource exists
if (DaisyResourceLookup.TryGetResource(resources, "MyCustomKey", out var value))
{
    // value is the resource object
}

Size Key Helpers

Convert DaisySize enum values to string keys for resource lookups.

GetSizeKey - Abbreviated (XS, S, M, L, XL)

string key = DaisyResourceLookup.GetSizeKey(DaisySize.ExtraSmall); // "XS"
string key = DaisyResourceLookup.GetSizeKey(DaisySize.Medium);     // "M"
string key = DaisyResourceLookup.GetSizeKey(DaisySize.ExtraLarge); // "XL"

// Use for resources like "DaisyBadgeXSHeight"
var resourceKey = $"DaisyBadge{GetSizeKey(size)}Height";

GetSizeKeyFull - Full Name

string key = DaisyResourceLookup.GetSizeKeyFull(DaisySize.ExtraSmall); // "ExtraSmall"
string key = DaisyResourceLookup.GetSizeKeyFull(DaisySize.Medium);     // "Medium"

// Use for resources like "DaisySizeExtraSmallHeight"
var resourceKey = $"DaisySize{GetSizeKeyFull(size)}Height";

Default Sizing Methods

These methods return hardcoded default values for each DaisySize. They're used as fallbacks when resources aren't defined.

Usage in Custom Controls

Pattern 1: Direct Defaults (Simple)

private void ApplySizing()
{
    Height = DaisyResourceLookup.GetDefaultHeight(Size);
    FontSize = DaisyResourceLookup.GetDefaultFontSize(Size);
    Padding = DaisyResourceLookup.GetDefaultPadding(Size);
}

Pattern 2: Resource with Fallback (Flexible)

private void ApplySizing()
{
    var resources = Application.Current?.Resources;
    var sizeKey = DaisyResourceLookup.GetSizeKeyFull(Size);

    Height = DaisyResourceLookup.GetDouble(resources, 
        $"DaisySize{sizeKey}Height", 
        DaisyResourceLookup.GetDefaultHeight(Size));

    FontSize = DaisyResourceLookup.GetDouble(resources, 
        $"DaisySize{sizeKey}FontSize", 
        DaisyResourceLookup.GetDefaultFontSize(Size));
}

Pattern 3: Control-Specific Resources

private void ApplySizing()
{
    var resources = Application.Current?.Resources;
    var sizeKey = DaisyResourceLookup.GetSizeKey(Size); // "XS", "S", "M", etc.

    // Look for control-specific resource first, fall back to default
    Height = DaisyResourceLookup.GetDouble(resources, 
        $"DaisyBadge{sizeKey}Height", 
        DaisyResourceLookup.GetDefaultHeight(Size));
}

Overriding Defaults via Resources

You can override any default value by defining resources in your app:

<Application.Resources>
    <!-- Override default heights -->
    <x:Double x:Key="DaisySizeExtraSmallHeight">20</x:Double>
    <x:Double x:Key="DaisySizeSmallHeight">22</x:Double>
    <x:Double x:Key="DaisySizeMediumHeight">26</x:Double>

    <!-- Override control-specific values -->
    <x:Double x:Key="DaisyBadgeXSHeight">18</x:Double>
    <x:Double x:Key="DaisyButtonLHeight">40</x:Double>
</Application.Resources>
