Enable the GitHub dependant page/button

[paolofulgoni]

GitHub has this nice feature that shows dependant projects, both via the dependants page and a nice "Used by" button.

I think that this feature would be useful to understand how widely is this project used, at least in the open-source world.

I don't know how to to this, maybe a .nuspec file is enough.

Interesting idea. If you figure out how to do this then please let us know. Thanks!

@SteveSandersonMS per this https://github.com/dipy/dipy/issues/1856 looks like an email needs to be sent to github support to make it happen. I assume the email has to be sent by repo owner.

I believe that this feature requires a few entries in the .csproj for it work correctly.

I reviewed a couple .Net projects that have this feature working:

• https://github.com/chanan/BlazorTypography/blob/master/src/BlazorTypography/BlazorTypography.csproj
• https://github.com/rungwiroon/BlazorGoogleMaps/blob/master/GoogleMapsComponents/GoogleMapsComponents.csproj
• https://github.com/stsrki/Blazorise/blob/master/Source/Blazorise/Blazorise.csproj
• https://github.com/egil/razor-components-testing-library/blob/master/src/Egil.RazorComponents.Testing.Library.csproj
• https://github.com/nheath99/NodaTimePicker/blob/master/src/NodaTimePicker/NodaTimePicker.csproj

All the working projects seem to have the following entries in the csproj:

• PackageId
• RepositoryUrl

Update I was able to confirm on two of my projects, PackageId and RepositoryUrl are required. As soon as I pushed the PR to master, https://github.com/IvanJosipovic/BlazorTable/commit/179053d38db29fa57a87f0d37e48dadb1bdfb400, I could see dependent projects in Insights. About 30 minutes later, the icon popped up on my repo
