.SYNOPSIS A monimal donothing-script framework .DESCRIPTION This cmdlet lets the user very simply define a donothing script that prompts manual actions. The script can then easily be extended to automate certain actions. This module allows for some customisation .EXAMPLE # Three manual steps somethingsomething "Open network" somethingsomething "Create the database" somethingsomething "Generate password" somethingsomething "Create login using the generated password" somethingsomething "Close network" .EXAMPLE # Partial Automation # Some steps are automated somethingsomething "Open network" somethingsomething "Create the database" "az sql db create -g test-rg -n test-db -s test-sql" somethingsomething "Generate password" "$Pass = 'abcdefghijklmn'.tochararray() | Sort-Object {Get-Random})" somethingsomething "Create login using the generated password" "Create-DB-Login -Username test -Password $Pass" somethingsomething "Create the database" .EXAMPLE # Semi-Automation # Each step is automated, but we user input is prompted to continue to the next somethingsomething "Open network" "az sql server update --restrict-outbound-network-access false" somethingsomething "Create the database" "az sql db create -g test-rg -n test-db -s test-sql" somethingsomething "Generate password" "$Pass = 'abcdefghijklmn'.tochararray() | Sort-Object {Get-Random})" somethingsomething "Create login using the generated password" "Create-DB-Login -Username test -Password $Pass" somethingsomething "Close network" "az sql server update --restrict-outbound-network-access false" .EXAMPLE # Luxury-Automation # Each step is automated and continues automatically, # "Creating the database" step is evaluated for a minute by a custom script to ensure success before continuing to the next somethingsomething "Open network" "az sql server update --restrict-outbound-network-access false" -y somethingsomething "Create the database" "az sql db create -g test-rg -n test-db -s test-sql" -Evaluate "az sql db show list --query name | Convert-FromJson |$_count>0 " -y somethingsomething "Generate password" "$Pass = 'abcdefghijklmn'.tochararray() | Sort-Object {Get-Random})" -y somethingsomething "Create login using the generated password" "Create-DB-Login -Username test -Password $Pass" -y somethingsomething "Close network" "az sql server update --restrict-outbound-network-access false" -y #> function Invoke-Something { [CmdletBinding( SupportsShouldProcess=$true )] [Alias('somethingsomething')] param( [Parameter( Mandatory=$true, Position=0, HelpMessage="This message describes the action that the user should take or that will be automated" )] [string] $Message, [Parameter( Position=1, HelpMessage="Expression string that will be invoked with 'Invoke-Expression' to automate the task ")] [string] $Expression, [Parameter(HelpMessage="Expression string that will be invoked to evaluate wether the required state has been reached.
