Xamarin.Forms - Slide-Up Panel App

Introduction

** This article demonstrates how to enable slide-up panel in Xamarin.Forms application. This means if the user drags the panel from down to up, it shows title, image, description and more. Similarly, the user can drag the panel from up to down and it will show only the title and set the custom behavior of it. These features are not listed by default in a Xamarin.Forms application. So, we need to install a plug-in for this.**
