[NewsBot]

WebSharper 9.1.0.554 has been released.

This is a major release of WebSharper. NuGet version 9.1.0.554.

Templates for .NET Core SDK: dotnet new install WebSharper.Templates::9.1.0.554

Create npm packages with TypeScript definitions included

This is how you can use new features quickly:

• After installing templates with above command, create a new WebSharper library project with dotnet new websharper-lib -o MyLib -lang F# (or -lang C#)
• To wsconfig.json, add:

  "javascriptExport": true,
  "dce": true,
  "outputDir": "build"
  

• Note: .d.ts file generation is now on by default, no need to specify it.
• Create an assets folder and run npm init there to set up a package.json file. Leave entry point on the default setting (index.js). We do this so that the build folder can be wiped on a clean safely.
• Add to your project file:

  <Target Name="CleanBuildDir" BeforeTargets="CoreCompile">
    <RemoveDir Directories="build" />
  </Target>
  
  <Target Name="CopyPackageJsonAndPack" AfterTargets="WebSharperCompile">
    <Copy SourceFiles="assets/package.json" DestinationFolder="build" />
    <Exec Command="npm pack" WorkingDirectory="build" />
  </Target>
  

• Build your project which now writes dead code eliminated output to build folder, then packages it into a tgz package with npm. You can test locally with npm install PathToTgz, and run npm publish PathToTgz when ready to push to the public registry.

Improvements

• #1457 WebSharper now can generate .d.ts output to enrich .js output files with TypeScript type information. This is supported for all project types except html, and web if prebundle is true.
• #1462 Added a mode for generating minimal output code to make an npm package with WebSharper. To use this mode, create a library project then set use "dce": true" and set the "outputDir"setting too inwsconfig.json`.
