FsPad

This is prototype a fork of Gustavo Leon's FsPad project.

Getting Started

1. Install the NuGet package Steego.FsPad in your solution
2. Create an fsx to load Steego.FsPad and configure your interactive printer

Example Script - SteegoFsPad.fsx

#r "nuget: Steego.FsPad"

//  This is the default port for the web server
let browser = FsPad.Web(3000)

//  Provides a function to send values directly to the browser
let dump(value:'a) = browser.Dump(value, 5)

let autoPrint(value:'a) = 
    dump(value) |> ignore
    sprintf "%A" value

//  Configures your FSI printer to use this as a printer
//  Comment this out if you don't want values automatically printing
fsi.AddPrinter (autoPrint)

Example Script with using LINQPad's Object Dumper

#I "./bin/Debug"

#r "Suave.dll"
#r "Steego.FsPad.dll"
#r @"C:\Program Files (x86)\LINQPad5\LINQPad.exe"

open FsPad

let browser = FsPad.Web(8080)

let dump(value:'a) = browser.Dump(value, 5)

let autoPrint(value:'a) = 
    //  Use LINQPad to convert the value into HTML
    let html = LINQPad.Util.ToHtmlString(3, value :> obj)
    //  Then send it to the browser
    dump(UnprotectedHtml(html)) |> ignore
    sprintf "%A" value

fsi.AddPrinter (autoPrint)
