GiraffeSample

This sample app demonstrates F#, .NET Core, Giraffe, and using Sqlite. You can develop and run it cross-platform.

Instructions

1. Download the .NET Core 2.0 SDK.
2. Install Visual Studio Code and Ionide-FSharp.. They're great for cross-platform F# development.
3. Run dotnet restore before opening the project in VSCode.
4. Use dotnet watch run for development. It'll recompile and re-run the project when you make changes.

I recommend using Postman to play around with it.

Deployment

This isn't really intended for production, but if you wish to deploy this somewhere, do the following:

1. Use dotnet publish -o app -c release. This will copy a release version of the app into a new folder called /app, along with every other .dll dependency this app requires.
2. Put the contents of /app wherever you like.
3. Run it from there.
