Bolero - F# Tools for Blazor
Bolero is a set of tools and libraries to run F# applications in WebAssembly using Blazor.
It includes:
- HTML functions using a familiar syntax similar to WebSharper.UI or Elmish.React.
- Templating to write HTML in a separate file and bind it to F# using a type provider.
- Elmish integration: run an Elmish program as a Blazor component, and Blazor components as Elmish views.
- Routing: associate the page's current URL with a field in the Elmish model, defined as a discriminated union. Define path parameters directly on this union.
- Remoting: define asynchronous functions running on the server and simply call them from the client.
- F#-specific optimizations: Bolero strips F# signature data from assemblies to reduce the size of the served application.
