Dev:FSharp

From WCell

Jump to: navigation, search

F# (spoken: F Sharp) is a .NET-based programming language with functional language elements, currently being developed by Microsoft.
Just like any other .NET language, F# code is compiled into .NET Assemblies and thus can be used to write WCell Addons.

[edit] Getting Started (using VS)

  • Follow the steps of one of the Setup guides above to install F#
  • F# automatically integrates with Visual Studio
    • If you don't have Visual Studio, see above for alternative solutions
  • You can now either load WCell's existing F# Addon or create a new Addon
    • Creating a new Addon:
      • Go to: File -> New -> Project -> Other Project types -> F# Projects
      • Place the Project in WCell's Addon Folder
      • Go to the new Project's Projects Properties:
      • Implement the IWCellAddon - interface in your class
      • Set the Output path to ../../Run/RealmServer/Lib/ and/or ../../Run/AuthServer/Lib/ correspondingly (if your project is in a subfolder of WCell's Addon Folder)
      • Add the Addon to the configuration of the RealmServer and/or AuthServer
      • Done!

[edit] A sample Addon

The following is an example of how to write the very most basic WCell-Addon possible. The name is FSharpAddon and its located in the namespace WCell.Addons: 

namespace WCell.Addons

open System;
open System.Globalization;
open WCell.Core.Addons;


type public FSharpAddon = 
	class
		// F# has no default ctor
		new() = { }
		interface IWCellAddon
		with
			member public x.get_Name() = "First FSharp Addon"
			member public x.get_Author() = "The WCell Team"
			member public x.get_Website() = "http://WCell.org"
			member public x.GetLocalizedName (culture) = "First FSharp Addon"
			member public x.Init() = 
				Console.WriteLine("FSharp test!");
		end
	end;;

[edit] F# Addons in WCell

You can find a default F# Addon written by the WCell team with the project file in the Addons/ folder.
Feel free to use that or create your own Addon to try your first steps or write fully blown features in F#.
