Function Get-PASPropertyObject { <# .SYNOPSIS Designed to flatten objects returned from psPAS commands .DESCRIPTION psPAS output can contain multiple levels of nested properties. This function returns all property values as root level properties of the output object. Facilitates sending existing property values as parametes for Set-PAS* commands. .PARAMETER InputObject The input object to flatten .EXAMPLE $object = [PSCustomObject]@{ Prop = "testvalue" Nest = [PSCustomObject]@{nestedproperty='nested value'} } $object | Get-PASPropertyObject Name Value ---- ----- nestedproperty nested value Prop testvalue Outputs a flat object where nested property values are returned as top level properties of the output object .NOTES Pete Maan 2024 #> [CmdLetBinding()] Param ( [Parameter( Mandatory = $True, ValueFromPipeline = $True )] [psobject]$InputObject ) Begin { $Properties = @{} } Process { #Iterate each property $InputObject.psobject.Properties | ForEach-Object { If ($null -ne $PSItem.value) { #save the property name $property = $PSItem.name switch ($PSItem) { #where property value is another (nested) object, recursivley call the function for the object { ($PSItem.value.gettype() | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name) -match 'PSCustomObject' } { $PSItem.value | Get-PASPropertyObject } default { #add property name/value to hastable $Properties.Add($Property, $PSItem.value) } } } } } End { #output hashtable elements $Properties.GetEnumerator() } } |
