Contribution of the Music Store Sample in F#

[SomeUserNameReally]

I followed along with the music store tutorial but used F# to develop the app since I am new to the language and wanted to learn it. I am also new to Avalonia and .NET in general.

I specifically want to use Avalonia with F# as I think this combination is very potent and has excellent potential. Specifically with native MVU/ MVUx/Elmish patterns, similar to what FuncUI and Fabulous have done. Although, having XAML is very nice.

I want to contribute the F# code I have to the Avalonia samples free for distribution and modification as Avalonia sees fit. How may I proceed?

Hi

sorry for the late response. Currently I'm reworking the musicstore a bit. After it has been merged, you can add another folder named "MusicStore.FSharp" or something to share the code. Then open a PR with your changes. If it gets approval by the team, you'd also need to update the readme to reflect the needed changes.

Welcome 👋

my changes are merged, so ready to go if you're still interested.

Thank you for replying! No worries, no hurry. As per the contribution guidelines, here's what I'm thinking:

1. Fork this repo on my account, and clone it locally
2. Create a branch on this clone
3. Create a new project in src/Avalonia.Samples/Avalonia.Samples.sln
4. Copy my F# sample source files (directory containing the fsproj file) to src/Avalonia.Samples/FSharp/CompleteApps/ as Avalonia.MusicStore
5. Commit this sample to git
6. Create a README file using one of the templates as per the contribution guidelines and commit it to git
7. Do a git push and merge the resulting PR to the default branch
8. Contribute upstream to this repo, Avalonia.Samples:main

Is this good?

I believe everything is working as expected in the sample. But I did notice that sometimes the album covers don't load immediately when you type to search, although it does work mostly.

I opened an issue (#204) in this repo and a PR for it (#205) here also.
