PowerShell Extensions

Introduction

The following document describes PowerShell extensions for OpenApi (Swagger) 2.0 schema. These extensions are used in the additional metadata file (Ex: servicename.PSMeta.json) for specifying the PowerShell specific metadata (like module, cmdlet, parameter and output format specific extended metadata). These can also be used in the Swagger/OpenApi document.

Extensions

x-ps-code-generation-settings - enables passing PowerShell code generation settings via psmeta document or swagger document.
x-ps-module-info - enables passing PowerShell Module manifest values via PSMeta document or Swagger/OpenApi document.
x-ps-cmdlet-infos - enables customization of generated commands for an operation.
x-ps-parameter-info - enables customization for generated command parameters.
x-ps-output-format-info - enables customization of output format views.
x-ps-client-parameters - enables customization of AutoRest ServiceClient properties.

x-ps-code-generation-settings

x-ps-code-generation-settings extension on info element enables passing PowerShell code generation settings via PSMeta document or Swagger/OpenApi document.

Parent element: Info Object

Schema:

Field Name	Type	Description
codeGenerator	`string`	Allowed values are "AzureCsharp" and "Csharp". If not specified, default is Csharp.
path	`string`	Full Path to a folder where the commands/modules are exported to. MUST be a valid path either absolute or relative.
noAssembly	`bool`	Boolean to specify whether the generated assemblies are copied under the generated module. Enables dynamic compilation scenario.
PowerShellCorePath	`string`	Path to PowerShell.exe for PowerShell Core. Only required if not installed via MSI in the default path. MUST be a valid path either absolute or relative.

customAuthCommand	`string`	Specify a PowerShell cmdlet that should return a Microsoft.Rest.ServiceClientCredentials object that implements custom authentication logic.
hostOverrideCommand	`string`	Specify a PowerShell cmdlet that should return a custom hostname string. Overrides the default host in the specification.

Wildcard

Replaces all instances of the wildcard character with ".*" and applies the input value as a regular expression. For example, the input "*a" is turned into the regular expression ".*a".

-- Additional properties Character - a single character denoting the wildcard character, e.g. "*". Defaults to '%' if not specified.

EqualityOperator

Applies an equality operation. The right operand is the input value, while the left operand is the value of the object property specified.

-- Additional properties Operation - one of: "<", "<=", "=", ">=", ">"

PowerShellWildcard

Uses the PowerShell wildcard patterns ("*", "[", "?") to match. See the class "System.Management.Automation.WildcardPattern".
