Consider future policy.

As soon as the contents are finalized, they will be included in README.md.

Plan

Aim to PR in Avalonia.FuncUI.

context:

• Is there any chance of getting a hot-reloading designer? fsprojects/Avalonia.FuncUI#115 (comment)

Things to do in this repository before creating a PR

• Add dotnet tool to control LivePreview Analyzer #12
• Rethink the protocol between Analyzer, Previewer #13
• Separate LiveViewWindow from SilkyFowl.Avalonia.FuncUI.LiveView. #25

bug fix

• Error occured when unchecking "Show EvalText" #3
• If there is a DU in the file that consists entirely of valued case labels, it cannot be previewed #5
• When DU is not at at the end of the code, FSharpChecker.ParseAndCheckProject failed. #6

required

• Add test code.
• Package size optimization
  • The analyzer is 50 MB, which is too large. Build scripts need to be improved to incorporate only the necessary libraries.

Write Doc

• Explanation of the LIVEPREVIEW directive
  • Considering that LivePreview is not needed for debugging purposes, should it be managed separately from the DEBUG directive?
• Example of use outside VScode
• In theory, it should also work with vim, etc.

Organize network communication process

If you want to achieve PR, you need to do something about the current situation where IP address and Port are fixed.

• Consider how to set IP address and Port
  • Environment variable is good?

Performance

• Identify cases where updates are slow. (Add samples)
  • Perhaps Previewing a View that contains complex logic may be slow.
  • Let's verify with Elmish's sample.

Add features

• Make it possible to complete only with Fsi.
  • Is it appropriate to add Cli? Should we refer to XAML Studio for that?

vNext

• Support for Appnium
  • It would be good if we can do the StoryBook thing.
  • Avalonia repository has sample code.
    • https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/tree/master/tests/Avalonia.IntegrationTests.Appium
• Make sure that updated code stops at breakpoints.
  • This is a little out of the goal of checking the look and feel generated by the code.
  • Therefore, we will start after the update of Fsharp's Analyzer API is completed.

[SilkyFowl]

LivePreview is a combination of Analyzer and a library.
So far I have been thinking of building it according to Analyzer's manner, but in reality, it might be better to build it with dotnet tools.
