Gmox Grpc Mock Server

Sun, 26 Dec 2021 13:06:58 +0000

TLDR: I created Gmox - a .NET-friendly gRPC mock server.

What is Gmox ¶

It is a gRPC mock server similar to grip-mock but written in F# and distributed as a dotnet cli tool and a dotnet template.

Why create one if other implementations already exist ¶

I wanted to create something easy to use for (my fellow- and all other) .NET developers.

I had the following scenarios in mind:

Development - enable developers to quickly spin up a mock server instance from local proto files.
Testing - enable testers to deploy a mock server as a part of a test scenario and control it during a test run.

Also I had the following requirements:

Dependency Trees With Fable and Sutil

Motivation ¶

One of my colleagues has recently mentioned they can hardly follow the dependency tree of YAML-configured systems like kustomize or GitLab CI. Both mentioned technologies enable configuration reuse via composition and inheritance. Obviously the reuse comes with an increased complexity which may be overwhelming for a newcomer. To lower the learning curve I wanted to create a tool that would allow an ad-hoc tree traversal and visualisation. I am excited as it requires reaching beyond my comfort zone. Straight to the realm of front-end.

Embedding F# Compiler: Fsc-Host NuGet

Sat, 16 Oct 2021 12:12:10 +0100

I have created a NuGet package that lets you easily use F# scripting in your apps.

NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Queil.FSharp.FscHost
Source: https://github.com/queil/fsc-host

What is this all about? ¶

In two previous posts (1, 2) I showed you how to host the F# compiler in your own applications. This time I wanted to reveal the result of those experiments. I wanted to enable F# scripting in a few of my apps. This requirement made me create the Fsc Host project. The goal was to create a light-weight reusable abstraction over FSharp.Compiler.Service focused on compiling scripts and consuming them by the hosting application. The NuGet package is available here. The project is still in the experimental phase (version 0) so the API and available features may change, (and the changes may be breaking so bear that in mind before using it in your projects).
