Why should you care?

Write C# apps with a text editor, nuget and the power of [Roslyn] (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/roslyn.aspx)!

Note: Roslyn is a pre-release CTP and currently an unsupported technology. As such there may be changes in Roslyn itself that could impact this project. Please bear that in mind when using scriptcs

Pre-reqs

Quick start

  • Open a cmd prompt as admin
  • Create a directory "c:\scriptcs_hello" and change to it.
  • run "nuget install Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.SelfHost -o Packages"
  • create a server.csx with your favorite editor. Paste the text below into the file and save.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Web.Http;
using System.Web.Http.SelfHost;

var address = "http://localhost:8080";
var conf = new HttpSelfHostConfiguration(new Uri(address));
conf.Routes.MapHttpRoute(name: "DefaultApi",
   routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
   defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);

var server = new HttpSelfHostServer(conf);
server.OpenAsync().Wait();
Console.WriteLine("Listening...");
Console.ReadKey();
  • run "scriptcs server.csx"

This will launch a web api host.

How it works

scriptcs relies on Rosyln for loading loose C# script files. It will automatically discover nuget packages local to the app and load the binaries.

Samples

You can find additional samples for scriptcs in our samples repository.

What's next

  • Adding support for pluggable recipe "packs" for different frameworks.
