Because the RetireSimple Engine uses .NET 6, it is able to be compiled for other platforms. This means any project using .NET 6 will be able to use the RetireSimple Engine. We provide a NuGet package via GitHub packages.

Happy Hacking!

To compile/develop RetireSimple, the following tools are required:

• .NET 6 (dotnet CLI)
• dotnet-ef tools (link)
• Node.JS 16 (minimum compatible version, required for frontend build)
• IMPORTANTpnpm v7 (install to global tools via npm install -g pnpm)

The project can be opened in most modern IDEs and built using CLI tools, but was specifically constructed in Visual Studio which should provide the fullest compatibility with the project configuration.

The RetireSimple.Frontend project uses pnpm over npm for dependency management and managing builds. There is no difference in how you would normally build/run the frontend, except for using pnpm (i.e. pnpm run build, pnpm test, pnpm install, etc.). For more information about pnpm, visit their website.

A local release of RetireSimple can be built with dotnet publish on the RetireSimple.Backend project. We provide a publish profile with settings to optimize the build, so the recommended way to execute this build at the root of the repository is:

dotnet publish RetireSimple.Backend/RetireSimple.Backend.csproj -p:PublishProfile=RetireSimple.Backend/Properties/PublishProfiles/FolderProfiles.pubxml

Most of the documentation is still under construction and is subject to change until the initial release. This can be found on the Wiki

We have a general release plan with some of the rationale in the following excel sheet. Items in the sheet will include links to the corresponding GitHub Issues to validate progress. Items that were completed before this plan was created my not have a linked issue.
