Work with paket.dependencies

[nojaf]

Hi @Zaid-Ajaj , in my current setup I'm not using an fsproj but an fsharp script in combination with Paket.

It would be nice if femto can look at my paket.dependencies and figure it out.
For example:

source https://www.nuget.org/api/v2
storage:none
framework:netstandard2.0

nuget Fable.React

Hello Florian,

This might actually prove difficult to accomplish because Femto currently doesn't look at paket.dependencies because that would only give the direct dependencies and we need the transitive ones. Of course we can parse the lock file to get the transitive dependencies as well but that is not enough because we still need to locate the actual source code of the required Fable packages in order to parse the metadata from the project file.

To get all of the dependencies, the direct and the transitive, Femto relies entirely on the project cracker which as far as I know, is only relevant for projects.

Femto is now beta and before implementing such feature I would like to prioritize the work to get it into a stable release which involves much needed work around getting core libraries to support Femto, especially most used ones like Fable.Elmish.React and Fable.React, please take a look at this issue.

Hi, what if we parse an fsx file instead?
Similar to how Fable does this.

Oh if that already gives us a CrackedProject then that's all we need to get it up and running with Femto 😄 PR maybe?

Looks like it is almost already there 😋.
I'll try to create a PR in the coming weeks.

Heyy @nojaf any (planned) progress on this one? 😄

[nojaf]

Hey Zaid, I sorta lost track of this. Nothing planned for the moment. Maybe close this issue and let's reopen if other people are interested.

Sounds good to me 😄 Thanks for quick reply
