AsyncPowerShell

A simple commandlet that allows usage of async methods

Installation

To install AsyncPowerShell, run the following command in the Package Manager Console

PM> Install-Package AsyncPowerShell

Usage

Create a new commandlet that inherits from AsyncPowerShell.AsyncPSCmdlet. Overrides the ProcessRecordAsync method and implement your commandlet the way you like it!

[Cmdlet(VerbsCommon.Get, "Something")]
public class GetSomethingCommand : AsyncPSCmdlet
{
    protected async override Task ProcessRecordAsync()
    {
        using (var client = new HttpClient())
        {
            var html = await client.GetStringAsync("https://github.com/fvilers/AsyncPowerShell");
			WriteObject(html);
        }
    }
}
