# Huge thanks to Joel Bennett for this. # Sad that New-ModuleManifest PrivateData parameter can't handle this for us.... function ConvertTo-Metadata { #.Synopsis # Serializes objects to PowerShell Data language (PSD1) #.Description # Converts objects to a texual representation that is valid in PSD1, # using the built-in registered converters (see Add-MetadataConverter). # # NOTE: Any Converters that are passed in are temporarily added as though passed Add-MetadataConverter #.Example # $Name = @{ First = "Joel"; Last = "Bennett" } # @{ Name = $Name; Id = 1; } | ConvertTo-Metadata # # @{ # Id = 1 # Name = @{ # Last = 'Bennett' # First = 'Joel' # } # } # # Convert input objects into a formatted string suitable for storing in a psd1 file. #.Example # Get-ChildItem -File | Select-Object FullName, *Utc, Length | ConvertTo-Metadata # # Convert complex custom types to dynamic PSObjects using Select-Object. # # ConvertTo-Metadata understands PSObjects automatically, so this allows us to proceed # without a custom serializer for File objects, but the serialized data # will not be a FileInfo or a DirectoryInfo, just a custom PSObject #.Example # ConvertTo-Metadata ([DateTimeOffset]::Now) -Converters @{ # [DateTimeOffset] = { "DateTimeOffset {0} {1}" -f $_.Ticks, $_.Offset } # } # # Shows how to temporarily add a MetadataConverter to convert a specific type while serializing the current DateTimeOffset. # Note that this serialization would require a "DateTimeOffset" function to exist in order to deserialize properly. # # See also the third example on ConvertFrom-Metadata and Add-MetadataConverter.
