CIT F# Application Template

An opinionated F# application template.

Features

Configuration

• global.json pinned to .NET 8
• VS Code settings to hide inlay hints by default
• .gitignore with common F# settings
• src/app folder structure
• Directory.Build.props file to enforce treating warnings as errors

Pre-installed dotnet tools

• Fantomas v6 pre-configured with .editorconfig
• Paket v8 with the following dependencies:
  • FSharp.Core
  • FSToolkit.ErrorHandling

Console App

• Comes with a single standard console application
• Comes with a solution file (seems to help Ionide finding the project for highlighting).

To install locally

dotnet new install ./

To execute the template

dotnet new cit-app -o MyApp

will give you a folder structure as follows:

.config
    dotnet-tools.json
.paket
    Paket.Restore.targets
.vscode
    settings.json
src
    MyApp
        MyApp.fsproj
        paket.references
        Program.fs
MyApp.sln
.editorconfig
.gitignore
Directory.Build.props
global.json
paket.dependencies
paket.lock

You can then run the application from within the folder as follows:

dotnet run --project src/MyApp

I've never used Paket!

This is an opinioniated template, but of course feel free to remove it or fork this repository.

Adding a package

cd src/MyApp
dotnet paket add <package name>

Removing a package

cd src/MyApp
dotnet paket remove <package name>

Safely updating all dependencies

dotnet paket update --keep-major
