Provide a .NET Standard compatible build on nuget

[pkese]

This package is only available as for dotnet 4.5 and can't be used in modern .Net Core / .Net Standard enironments (Linux...).

Is there a reason it can't be provided as Netstandard compatible.

[vasily-kirichenko]

It's possible if SharpYaml package is Core compatible.

[pkese]

Yes,
SharpYaml is compatible with NetStandard 1.6

How is it possible? I thought that TP does not work yet on .NET Core - dotnet/fsharp#2406

@vasily-kirichenko Do you know at least one (erased) TP that is compiled to .net standard and work on .net core?

[vasily-kirichenko]

Ah, I don't follow .NET Core news, I thought TPs are already supported.

[forki]

@vasily-kirichenko no they are not.

I noticed there are alpha releases for .netstandard on nuget.

What is the state of those builds? How functional are they on netstandard?

[sergey-tihon]

@tylerhartwig plz, try it and tell us ;)

It is in alpha because it is does not contain ResXProvider at the moment and there is no way auto-magically load web.config.

YamlConfigTypeProvider, IniFileProvider & AppSettingsTypeProvider should be in perfect shape (as good as before).

I had issues with the yamlprovider in Rider and vscode with regards to intellisense, but they compiled perfectly.

[sergey-tihon]

@baronfel what sorts of issues you had? Performance?
IIRC, current alpha does not contain caching for provided types. Can it be related?

[baronfel]

It was always just red squigglies for unknown members on the generated type. Just a design time issue, though! One of the many things I hadn't found time to run down.

[tylerhartwig]

Ah I'd love to try it out and let yall know, however I was hoping to try out the resx :D

Is that piece started? What does the work on that look like?

[sergey-tihon]

@tylerhartwig yes, take a look here #139 (comment)

the original implementation is heavily rely on winforms that is not net-standard thing =(

[sergey-tihon]

We also can ask @Liminiens opinion on how far we are ;)

[Liminiens]

@sergey-tihon i beleive it is be possible to target net core 3.0 for resx provider since it has win forms bits, but it needs some research

[sergey-tihon]

@Liminiens maybe, but it anyway will be win-only. right?

[Liminiens]

yes :)

[jkone27]

any news on .netstandard porting effort ? maybe YAML type provider should be in the main FSharp.Data library?

[sergey-tihon]

@jkone27 have you tried 2.0.0-alpha2? It contains .net standard version of YAML type provider

[jkone27]

Will give it a try, thanks a lot @sergey-tihon 👍

[jkone27]

just a thought, but any thoughts of migrating it to FSharp.Data ? i think it could prove very useful and maybe it's a nicer fit there, or have a separate package/repo like FSharp.Data.Yaml ? Have a really nice day!
