FarNet.template
FarNet module and script template for C# and F# projects
With .NET SDK 7.0 installed with Visual Studio or manually, the easiest way to create module and script projects for FarNet is using FarNet.template from the NuGet gallery.
Projects created from the template can be used for development and debugging in Visual Studio and VSCode.
To install the FarNet template from the NuGet gallery, run:
dotnet new -i FarNet.template
Take a look at all templates:
dotnet new -l
The list should contain "FarNet module" and "FarNet script":
Template Name Short Name Language Tags
------------- ------------- -------- -------------
FarNet module farnet-module [C#],F# FarNet/Module
FarNet script farnet-script [C#],F# FarNet/Script
To create a C# (default) or F# module or script project, create a new folder with the new module or script name, change to it, and invoke one of these:
dotnet new farnet-module
dotnet new farnet-script
dotnet new farnet-module -lang F#
dotnet new farnet-script -lang F#
To uninstall the template, run:
dotnet new -u FarNet.template
Created FarNet project
Before opening created projects in Visual Studio or VSCode ensure you have the
environment variable FARHOME
set to the Far Manager home. If it is missing
then the development location C:\Bin\Far\x64
is used, see the project file
and change if needed.
If you build or start Visual Studio or VSCode from Far Manager then the FARHOME variable exists and set to this Far Manager directory.
Visual Studio
The project is ready to use in Visual Studio.
VSCode
Requirements:
- VSCode C# extension for C# projects and for debugging F# projects.
- VSCode F# extension for F# projects.

All projects reference FarNet.dll
.
F# projects reference FSharp.Core.dll
and optional FarNet.FSharp.dll
. They
are installed together with the module FarNet.FSharpFar
(really must have if
you develop in F# for Far Manager).
Building
This command is used to build projects:
dotnet build
Alternatively, you may build from Visual Studio or VSCode.
When you build a module project then the post build step publishes files to the FarNet module directory. Ensure Far Manager is not running to avoid files in use.
When you build a script project the output is sent to the FarNet script folder.
If you test simple methods with unload=true
then you do not have to restart.
