paket2bazel

paket2bazel is a tool for parsing Paket dependencies files

Paket fits well with Bazel because it generates a paket.lock file that can be used to deterministically generate Bazel targets for NuGet packages.

How to use

First you need to set up your paket.dependencies and paket.lock file. See the Paket docs on how to get started with Paket.

Next you will have to add the following to your WORKSPACE file:

load("@rules_dotnet//dotnet:paket2bazel_dependencies.bzl", "paket2bazel_dependencies")

paket2bazel_dependencies()

Then you needs to run paket2bazel to generate the paket.bzl file which will be loaded in your WORKSPACE file.

bazel run @rules_dotnet//tools/paket2bazel -- --dependencies-file $(pwd)/paket.dependencies  --output-folder $(pwd)/deps

Next you need to add the following to your WORKSPACE file

load("//OUTPUT_FOLDER:paket.bzl", "paket")
paket()

Once you have this set up you can reference each package with the following format:

If you only have the main Paket group in paket.dependencies file:

@main.package.name//:lib

If you are using groups in your paket.dependencies file:

@groupname.package.name//:lib
