Sutil VS SQLProvider

Sutil 0 dependency components inspired by svelte.

Sutil

If you don't mind using F# instead of C# then sutil might do what you need. It was inspired by Svelte.

For those interested in Svetle, Sutil is another thing to check out. Top of my head I can’t remember if it is based on or just inspired by Feliz.

While I've talked about sutil in the past I was slightly wrong saying that sutil was using Svelte under the hood, it turns out that Sutil is actually a pure F# implementation of a web framework! That means that yes! there's no VDOM, there's no dependency other than the FSharp.Core* library.

With tools like: Avalonia.FuncUI, Feliz, Xamarin.Forms, Sutil you can create desktop or mobile or web UI's using a really really good and easy to learn programming language. I, personally, see no reason to at least try it out!

For completeness, there is also the SqlDataProvider, which I only tried out a little years ago, before composibility was baked in. Worth a look.

Have you heard of type providers? https://fsprojects.github.io/SQLProvider/ I think this library might be what you are looking for

Database: SQL or Event Store. If SQL, One of https://fsprojects.github.io/SQLProvider/, https://github.com/Dzoukr/Dapper.FSharp or https://github.com/SQLStreamStore/SQLStreamStore

One of the more popular Type Providers I used is the SQL Provider, but even it has severe limitations when it comes to .NET Core.

There was a wave of popularity in 2017 as well. I used to work on it full time back then, and enjoyed it a lot. The SQLProvider [0] and other type providers like it are super impressive!

(1) F# Type Providers still blow my mind.

Strongly typed SQL/XML/CSV/JSON without boilerplate is a massive leap forward, and it's a shame that it hasn't caught on.

So... I'm a little bit lost here. I must say, I love this language, but documentation is definitely not its greatest strength. I've looked at the SQLProvider documentation and found no information. Then I looked through the repository issues and found a lot of people with similar issues and, even though they should theoretically be solved with version 1.2, I tried doing what ended up working for them, with little luck. I've tried different combinations of library targets and dependencies versions but none worked.

So when I clone a typical open source F# project from GitHub (e.g. SQLProvider, to pick a recent one that I wrestled with), I'm often at a loss how to build and debug the thing. I've figured out that running build.cmd is usually a good place to start, but then what? Can I still open the .sln in Visual Studio and build/debug it there?
