    I'm not sure if it will help in your scenario, but faced with a similar problem (~80 project solution, mixed c#/f#, with varying dependencies), I found success with Paket (https://github.com/fsprojects/Paket)

    It is much more prevalent in the f# community (at this point `dotnet restore` is a perfectly fine default until you hit trouble), but isn't limited to just being applied there.

    Another thing that might be worth considering for you is Paket. This is an alternative to using nuget, directly, and will take a little bit of setting up (follow their instructions), but once you have it, it will make sure that all dependencies and transitive dependencies for all your projects are the same. Not 100% sure if this would solve the issue for you, and it might be tricky if the realApplication has unknown shared dependencies with the other projects, but you can give it a try.

    So I am stuck again when I want to create a web app. Don't laugh. Once again, I come from *NIX environment and the way everything is started in WebSharper is quite confusing at first. I tried to go installation documentation but I don't use Visual Studio nor MonoDevelop. Using paket also doesn't solve my problem since they also seem to use Visual Studio or MonoDevelop.

    1 project | /r/fsharp | 28 Jul 2021
    a bit of follow up: this is because the init command you ran defaulted to those frameworks. it could be smarter, or it could default to something more recent. I opened this PR to update this default.

    If this would be true, there would be no reason for something like Paket to exist.

    I agree with the author about the slow inner loop experience. Recompiling the whole app to see browser changes gets tiring. The .NET team is planning a series of updates to address this in .NET 6. https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/5510

    I also dislike the default workflow for dealing with Nuget forks. I switched to Paket for dependency management which makes this much simpler. https://fsprojects.github.io/Paket/

  • Is it possible to use Paket, with dotnetcore, with packages from github?

    Also, I stumbled on this ticket https://github.com/fsprojects/Paket/issues/3064 which seems to confirm my fear that Paket is limited to importing files from Github, not entire packages, but I'm still hoping.

    Actually, it's worse than that. Next has started throwing errors if it statically detects you even _importing_ hooks inside of a React Server Component environment:

    - https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client/issues/11167

    To the point that Lenz Weber( a maintainer of Apollo Client, and my co-maintainer on Redux Toolkit), is considering resorting to a package that wraps and re-exports all of React's public API just to avoid that static analysis:

    I understand this has something to do with the fact, that SvelteKit expects the client and server code to be completely identical - this has already prompted changes to rxjs and apollo is still pending to be fixed. I understand the reason behind being able to run rxjs and apollo on the server but
  • Handling Apollo Errors in React

    There is a long-standing issue with error caching (its absence, that is), which leads to errors being rendered as a loading state on the server side. Therefore, if you're doing SSR, you might want to design your schema in such a way that there are no intentional errors in queries whatsoever. To do so, we can use null values instead of NOT_FOUND errors (see how we essentially treated errors as data here?). Note how nothing stops us from setting the response code to 404 in case of a null value, should we want so.
