reflection - How to get type of the module in F#

Question

How to get 'System.Type' of the module?

For example module:

module Foo =
     let bar = 1

And this does not work:

printfn "%s" typeof<Foo>.Name

Error is:

The type 'Foo' is not defined

Answer 1

You could add a marker type to the module and then discover the module's type from that:

module Foo =  
    type internal Marker = interface end
    let t = typeof<Marker>.DeclaringType
