SAFEr.Template NuGet

Strongly opinionated modification of amazing SAFE Stack Template for full-stack development in F#.

Installation

Install SAFEr Template:

dotnet new install SAFEr.Template

Create new directory for your kick-ass full-stack next-unicorn app:

mkdir NextUnicornApp
cd NextUnicornApp

Bootstrap your application using Giraffe 🦒:

dotnet new SAFEr

Restore dotnet tools:

dotnet tool restore

And start it in development mode:

dotnet run

Your application is now running on:

http://localhost:8080 // fable frontend
http://localhost:5000 // backend API for Giraffe

Disclaimer

I really love SAFE Stack Template template - it's a great thing for devs to start work on F# full-stack apps. However for me, the minimal template is too minimal and the default template is too different from my preferences, so I always struggle with the need to delete/restructure many things. This template makes it right for me and my projects from the very beginning. Feel free to use it. And one more thing... This template can change every time I decide to take a different approach to F# full-stack, so stay sharp. :)

Dude, where are my Azure Functions?

If you previously used this template, you may be looking for the Azure Functions template. As I no longer need this scenario and don't want to maintain it, I've removed it from the template in the v4.0.0. However, you can still use it by installing the previous version of the template:

dotnet new install SAFEr.Template --version 3.3.0
