FarNet.FSharp.PowerShell

F# friendly PowerShell extension
(net45 and Windows PowerShell 2+)

Package

The NuGet package FarNet.FSharp.PowerShell may be used as usual in F# projects.

The package is also designed for FarNet.FSharpFar. To install FarNet packages, follow these steps.

Overview

F# code

The type PS is the F# friendly wrapper of PowerShell with similar but fewer methods. Use PS.Create() instead of PowerShell.Create().

Use Script() and Command() instead of AddScript and AddCommand(). PS does not directly support multiple added commands.

Use the type safe helper Invoke2() in addition to Invoke().

Use F# asynchronous InvokeAsync() and InvokeAsync2().

Use the operator ? for getting PSObject properties. Note, it also works for Hashtable wrapped by PSObject.

PowerShell code

The default error action preference is Stop, safe for non-interactive use.

Use the function Get-Type to get F# types from the calling F# code.

Example

"Hello, world!" example:

open FarNet.FSharp.PowerShell

PS.Create().Script("Write-Output 'Hello, world!'").Invoke()
|> printfn "%A"
