F# mvc template?

[S3j5b0]

Hi, i'm just getting started in playing with rider.

I'd really like to create a f# mvc application. When opening a project back in visual studio, it's pretty easy just to pick a a .net framework application and then pick mvc scaffolding.

Is there any way to do this easily with rider? I've followed the link from the ide that says "install template" but I can't find the simple mvc template i'm looking for

You probably need https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.DotNet.Web.ProjectTemplates.5.0/

There does not seem to be any mvc template for F#

You can use dotnet new mvc -lang "F#" command to create F# mvc template.

Ok this works seamlessly! thanks a lot!

If you happen to know, or have the time to answer a dumb question, I have a quick one:

In the homecontroller, there is these two actions:

type HomeController (logger : ILogger<HomeController>) =
    inherit Controller()

    member this.Index () =
        this.View()

    member this.Privacy () =
        this.View()

Now, the index-action here, seems to work fine, and returns a corresponding view when I open https://localhost:5001

But if I I acces https://localhost:5001/Privacy then it can't find anything? what does the Privacy-action do?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/tutorials/first-mvc-app/adding-controller?view=aspnetcore-5.0&tabs=visual-studio has https://localhost:5001/Home/Privacy listed, try that, since you found a way to get template working I'm closing this issue.
