json.net dependency and refit dependency

[luisrudge]

This is my 'Client' project

public interface IClientApi {
    [Get("/")]
    Task<string> Home();

    [Get("/{id}")]
    Task<string> GetById(int id);
}

public class ClientApi : IClientApi {
    private IClientApi _client;

    public ClientApi() {
        var c = new HttpClient {BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:7820")};
        _client = RestService.For<IClientApi>(c);
    }

    public async Task<string> Home() {
        return await _client.Home();
    }

    public async Task<string> GetById(int id) {
        return await _client.GetById(id);
    }
}

This is my 'Consumer' project:

private static void Main(string[] args) {
    var client = new ClientApi();
    Console.WriteLine(client.Home().Result);
    Console.WriteLine(client.GetById(1).Result);
}

Why i have to install json.net and refit in my consumer project? And why isn't json.net a dependency of refit nuget package?

Why i have to install json.net and refit in my consumer project?

You have to do this in C# for any library, it doesn't do static linking. The easy way is to make your Client lib a NuGet package and have it depend on Refit.

And why isn't json.net a dependency of refit nuget package?

That's a bug, fixed!
