Functional Koans - F#
Inspired by EdgeCase's fantastic Ruby koans, the goal of the F# koans is to teach you F# through testing.
When you first run the koans, you'll be presented with a runtime error and a stack trace indicating where the error occured. Your goal is to make the error go away. As you fix each error, you should learn something about the F# language and functional programming in general.
Your journey towards F# enlightenment starts in the AboutAsserts.fs file. These koans will be very simple, so don't overthink them! As you progress through more koans, more and more F# syntax will be introduced which will allow you to solve more complicated problems and use more advanced techniques.
Running with Docker
To launch in watch mode using docker run the following command;
$ ./docker.sh
Prerequisites
The F# Koans needs .Net Core 2.0 to be built and run, make sure that you have installed it before building the project.
Additionally, the project provides Visual Studio Code configuration for running. To be able to run F# projects in Visual Studio Code, the ionide plugin should be also installed.
Running the Koans from the command line (.Net Core)
-
To build the Koans, run
dotnet buildcommand in the project root. -
To run the Koans, run
dotnet run -p FSharpKoans/FSharpKoans.fsprojcommand in the project root ordotnet runinFSharpKoansproject directory.
Running the Koans in Visual Studio Code
- Open the project directory in Visual Studio Code with Ionide-fharp plugin installed and press F5 to build and launch the Koans (require some time to build the project before launch).
Using dotnet-watch
You can also use dotnet-watch to have your changes reloaded automatically.
To do so, navigate into FSharpKoans directory and run dotnet watch run.
Now, after you change the project code, it will be automatically reloaded and tests rerun.
