Clone this repo, then:
$ dotnet build
$ dotnet run
To build from scratch:
$ dotnet new console -lang F# -n MyApp
$ cd MyApp
$ dotnet add package Suave --version 2.4.0
$ dotnet add package DotLiquid --version 2.0.262
$ dotnet add package Suave.DotLiquid --version 2.4.0
Next, setup /templates and /assets folders:
$ mkdir {projectroot}/templates
$ mkdir {projectroot}/assets
$ cd templates
$ touch index.liquid
Create a sample index.liquid file:
<h1>{{model.title}}</h1>
Edit .fsproj file to allow Suave to serve all files inside /templates and /assets:
<ItemGroup>
<Compile Include="Program.fs" />
<None Include="templates/**/*" Link="views/%(RecursiveDir)%(Filename)%(Extension)" CopyToOutputDirectory="PreserveNewest" />
<!-- Manually constructing Link metadata, works in classic projects as well -->
<None Include="assets/**/*" Link="assets/%(RecursiveDir)%(Filename)%(Extension)" CopyToOutputDirectory="PreserveNewest" />
</ItemGroup>
Sample Program.fs:
open Suave
open Suave.Filters
open Suave.Operators
open Suave.DotLiquid
open System.IO
open System.Reflection
let currentPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location)
let myHomeFolder = Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "assets")
