Contribution guidelines

If you would like to contribute to this repository, please submit a pull request. We accept any PowerShell script that you would like to share with the community. We recommend structure it so that it can be used with PowerShell Universal.

Structure

Each script should be in a folder that contains the script and a psd1 file that contains the metadata for the script. To include resources in PowerShell Universal, you can create a .universal folder. These will be automatically exposed in PSU when the module is imported. You can view examples within the repository to see how this is accomplished.

Tags, images and description of your module will appear directly in the platform.

Tags

The following tags are used to categorize modules in PowerShell Universal

  • script - Contains a script resource
  • app - Contains an App
  • widget - Contains one or more Portal Widgets
  • api - Contains API endpoints
  • trigger - Contains triggers

Documentation

We prefer that you include comment based help. A readme.md is also useful to better describe your module or solution. The readme content will be displayed in PowerShell Universal.

Tests

We currently do not require tests but prefer any tests are written in Pester. We will run these tests during CI builds.

Building

The repository is automatically build using the build.ps1 script. It finds all PSD1 files and generates nuget packages for each module. These will be stored in the output folder. They should not be checked in. A .gitignore has been created to prevent this.
