Simplify Fabulous template(from packages.config to PackageReferences) #896

Closed edgarfgp closed 2 years ago

edgarfgp commented 2 years ago

Question / Discussion

The existing template uses packages.config which adds +100 lines of references paths and it is difficult to maintain in any app.

If there is not a limitation I think we can migrate the templates to use PackageReferences to make it more maintainable and less verbose.

What do you think ?

Also I'm happy to contribute if you think is reasonable to do it .

Unfortunately MS won't add support for PackageReference for old-style fsproj.

With MAUI, we'll be able to use the new SDK-style fsproj which supports PackageReference. But you'll need to wait for Fabulous v2 and MAUI support, which will take a few months before it happens (MAUI is hard to work with right now 😞).

One way you could help is by trying out https://github.com/TimLariviere/Fabulous-new and giving your feedback. Just bear in mind that it is still very limited right now.
