F# representer normalizations

The F# representer applies the following normalizations:

Remove comments

All comments are removed.

Before

module Fake

(* Block comment
   on multiple lines *)

let message = "Hi" (* Block comment after code *)

// Double-slash comment on single line
let reply = "Yo" // Double-slash comment after code

/// <summary>This function adds two numbers</summary>
/// <param name="x">The first number</param>
/// <param name="y">The second number</param>
/// <returns>The first number added to the second number</param>
let add x y = x + y

After

module Fake

let message = "Hi"

let reply = "Yo"

let add x y = x + y

Remove import declarations

All import declarations are removed.

Before

module Fake

open System
open System.IO

let message = "Hi"

After

module Fake

let message = "Hi"

Format code

The code is formatted using the fantomas library. This formats the code according to the F# style guide. The full list of transformations that are applied by fantomas can be found here.

Before

module Fake

let  add ( birthDate  :  DateTime)  =
    birthDate.Add (    2.0)

type Volume =
| Liter of float
| USPint of float
| ImperialPint of float

After

module Fake

let add (birthDate: DateTime) =
    birthDate.Add(2.0)

type Volume =
    | Liter of float
    | USPint of float
    | ImperialPint of float

Normalize identifiers

Identifiers are normalized to a placeholder value.

Before

module Fake

let foo x = x + 1

After

module PLACEHOLDER_1

let PLACEHOLDER_3 PLACEHOLDER_2 = PLACEHOLDER_2 + 1
