How do I bind to MasterPage viewmodel inside a BindableLayout - xamarin

Question

I am trying to bind my Command property to the Command in my MasterDetailPage view model. I tried defining the name property for the master page and setting that as the reference source, but it does not seem to bind to the viewmodel. For context, the List MenuItems is a property in the same Viewmodel and the Title binds just fine. I believe I am not setting the Source for the command correctly, but not sure how to fix it. Also, I am using Prism, so the viewmodel is mapped in app.xaml already.
<MasterDetailPage
x:Class="MasterDetailPrism.Views.MainPage"
xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:prism="http://prismlibrary.com"
prism:ViewModelLocator.AutowireViewModel="True"
x:Name="menuMasterPage">
<MasterDetailPage.Master>
<ContentPage Title="Menu">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="225" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<StackLayout Grid.Row="0" BackgroundColor="Aqua" />
<StackLayout Grid.Row="1" BindableLayout.ItemsSource="{Binding MenuItems}">
<BindableLayout.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackLayout>
<Button
Command="{Binding NavigateAsync, Source={x:Reference menuMasterPage}}"
CommandParameter="{Binding NavPath}"
Text="{Binding Title}" />
</StackLayout>
</DataTemplate>
</BindableLayout.ItemTemplate>
</StackLayout>
</Grid>
</ContentPage>
</MasterDetailPage.Master>

Answer 1

I was able to figure it out - I had to name the StackLayout, and then bind to the root of that as the source, not the contentpage or masterpage. In the code below, ItemsList.
<StackLayout Grid.Row="1" BindableLayout.ItemsSource="{Binding MenuItems}" x:Name="ItemsList">
<BindableLayout.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackLayout>
<Button
Command="{Binding BindingContext.NavigateAsync, Source={x:Reference ItemsList}}"
CommandParameter="{Binding NavPath}"
Text="{Binding Title}" />
</StackLayout>
</DataTemplate>
</BindableLayout.ItemTemplate>
</StackLayout>
