WebSharper makes it easy to ..
Compile F# to JavaScript
type Person =
{ Name: string; Age: int }
[<JavaScript>]
let DisplayName p =
JavaScript.Alert("Person: " + p.Name)
Write F# that intuitively compiles to JavaScript. Using F# gives you type safety, type inference, code completion, and a ready library with helpful data structures and algorithms.
Call the server seamlessly
[<Remote>]
let AddPerson p = Db.Person.Add(p)
[<JavaScript>]
let Test () =
AddPerson {
Name = "Alyssa P. Hacker"
Age = 29
}
AJAX has never been simpler. Run F# code on both the server and the client, making interop as simple as calling a method.
Collect user input
Formlet.Do {
let! name =
Input ""
|> Enhance.WithTextLabel "Name"
let! age =
Input ""
|> Formlet.Map int
|> Enhance.WithTextLabel "Age"
return AddPerson {Name = name; Age = age}
}
|> Enhance.WithSubmitAndResetButtons
|> Formlet.Render
Use formlets to declaratively construct interactive client-side forms and wizards with input validation and other goodness.
Go mobile
Create ready Android and Windows Phone 7 applications using HTML5/JavaScript technology exposed entirely through F#. Easily connect mobile devices to a server-side app for inter-device communication and cloud data storage.
Integrate
Use jQuery, Ext JS, Kendo UI, Protovis and many more rich UI technologies with code completion in F#.
Compose sitelets
let HomePage =
Template "HomePage" <| fun ctx ->
[
Div [Text "HOME"]
UL [
LI ["Blog1" => ctx.Link(Blog 1)]
LI ["Blog2" => ctx.Link(Blog 2)]
]
]
On the server side, use WebSharper sitelets, a handy abstraction for composable website components. Sitelets are MVC done right, featuring first-class actions and type-safe cross-links.
