Raven.Sdk 0.1.12

Raven.Sdk

Raven.Sdk is the MSBuild project SDK used by Raven applications. It builds on the standard .NET SDK and supplies the Raven compiler, core library, standard macros, and Raven build targets.

Create a project with the matching Raven.Templates package instead of writing the project file by hand:

dotnet new install Raven.Templates@VERSION
dotnet new raven-console -n HelloRaven
cd HelloRaven
dotnet run

The generated project pins the matching SDK version so that normal .NET restore and build commands can resolve the complete Raven toolchain.

Implicit imports

Raven.Sdk follows the standard .NET SDK project pattern while using Raven's language terminology. ImplicitImports defaults to enable, and the SDK contributes its defaults as ordinary Import items:

<PropertyGroup>
  <ImplicitImports>disable</ImplicitImports>
</PropertyGroup>

<ItemGroup>
  <Import Include="MyApplication.Models" />
  <Import Remove="System.Net.Http" />
</ItemGroup>

Workload SDKs add to the same item model. Raven.Sdk.Web, for example, supplies the ASP.NET Core and Microsoft.Extensions imports associated with Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web. The compiler consumes the evaluated item collection and does not need to recognize individual SDK names.
