FSharp.TypeProviders.SDK

The F# Type Provider SDK

Getting Started

To create a type provider use:

dotnet new -i FSharp.TypeProviders.Templates
dotnet new typeprovider -n LemonadeProvider -lang F#

The template uses paket to acquire the files of the latest published type provider SDK.

cd LemonadeProvider

dotnet tool restore
dotnet paket update
dotnet build -c release

dotnet test -c release

The type provider also contains the logic necessary to package the type provider:

dotnet paket pack nuget --version 0.0.1

Examples

See examples the examples directory.

Experimental: Using the NuGet Package

You can use the TypeProvider SDK via a nuget package instead of by source inclusion. To enable this, use settings like these in the design-time component:

    <PackageReference Include="FSharp.TypeProviders.SDK" Version="7.0.3">
      <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
    </PackageReference>
    <PackageReference Update="FSharp.Core" Version="6.0.5">
      <ExcludeAssets>all</ExcludeAssets>
    </PackageReference>

The runtime-component should not have a reference to FSharp.TypeProviders.SDK.
