Why does Prism for WPF does not have an IInitialize interface?

[MariusHBG]

Hi,

Prism for Xamarin has the option to handle view model initialization by using the IInitialize or IInitializeAsync interfaces. This gives access to the navigation parameters upon first navigation to a view model.
I would like to use this behavior in a WPF app, but Prism for WPF does not include the IInitialize or IInitializeAsync interfaces, and the INavigationAware interface does not provide similar functionality.

Why is this the case? Is this a technical limitation? What is the recommended approach for a WPF app to achieve this behavior?

Greetings

WPF doesn't need this interface. The IInitialize was added to XF because of how XF works with deep linking. In WPF, you just use OnNavigatedTo.
