Make the resource list grow!

[alfonsogarciacaro]

Hi there, great Fable community contributors!

I've put together a community resource finder. It's very simple for now, but we can make it more sophisticated later and I hope that it helps make your contributions more visible to Fable users.

Could you please add your resources to the public/community.json file? You only need to add the name/title, a brief description, a link and a category.

Thanks everybody for your help!

Should this include all manner of Fable bindings for npm packages?

[sergey-tihon]

What about using using fable GitHub tag?
https://github.com/topics/fable?o=desc&s=stars

[nojaf]

Using the fable tag on GitHub also included old non-maintained projects right? Might be misleading for beginners.

Would you also list tools here? I once made a thing that convert json to Thoth decoders (https://nojaf.github.io/jason-to-thoth/), do those kinds of things also apply?

Lastly great initiative @alfonsogarciacaro ! Let's start simple and get this thing going.

[alfonsogarciacaro]

@cmeeren Yes, I think that anything that's valuable for Fable users should be there.

@sergey-tihon That's an option, but hopefully this gives a better way to select the results (for example, like @nojaf discarding old projects). I would also like that authors are responsible of keeping the info up-to-date, and they may want to link to documentation instead of Github page, for example. This also gives us the opportunity to list resources that are not in GH (like videos or blog posts).

@nojaf Yes, tools can be included. For now I added these categories, but we can extend/modify them:

community/src/Global.fs

Lines 6 to 10 in eac7d23

	type ResourceCategory =
	| Library
	| Tool
	| Tutorial
	| Video

[cmeeren]

I guess bindings should go under library, but what about boilerplates/examples like fable-elmish-electron-material-ui-demo?

[alfonsogarciacaro]

Probably we need a new category named "Template" or "Sample" 🤔

[cmeeren]

👍 please ping me when it's added

[alfonsogarciacaro]

Done!

[MangelMaxime]

@alfonsogarciacaro I think we can have both categories because Fulma-demo is not really a template per se for example. What do you think?

[cmeeren]

fable-elmish-electron-material-ui-demo is also not really a template, but more like Fulma-demo. "Sample" would work well I think.

[alfonsogarciacaro]

Ok, let's add the "Sample" category too then :)

[davedawkins]

I have a new package to add

https://github.com/davedawkins/Fable.React.Autocomplete

Is this the correct procedure to update this list?

• Fork this repository (to my own github account - Is a branch needed?)
• Update community.json / commit / push back to repository
• Create a pull request to this repository
  [ - Wait until PR applied and optionally delete my fork of this repository ? ]

Thanks

[MangelMaxime]

Hello @davedawkins yes this is the correct procedure.

You don't necessarily need a branch you can push your changes in your own master branch.

[alfonsogarciacaro]

You can also just use the edit button in GitHub, this automates the process of forking and sending the PR, so the only thing you need to do is edit the community.json file.
