The Windows Community Toolkit is a collection of helper functions, custom controls, and app services. It simplifies developer tasks building apps for Windows 10. The controls and app services in the toolkit are an addition to what's available in the current Windows 10 SDK (and will be marked deprecated if/when they're added to the official SDK).

The available toolkit NuGet packages are listed on the project's GitHub page. There's also a UWP Community Toolkit demo app in the Windows Store showing how to use the controls and services, including copy-paste code snippets.
