Code Editor fill with .ps1 Script

PowerShell Universal
1

Hi all,

is it possible to fill the code editor with an existing .ps1 script?

My code does not work:

New-UDCodeEditor -Height ‘500’ -Language ‘powershell’ -Id ‘editor’
if (Test-Path D:\UniversalDashboard\SCRIPT\script.ps1) {
$script = Get-Content D:\UniversalDashboard\SCRIPT\script.ps1
Set-UDElement -Id ‘editor’ -Attributes @{
code = $script
}
}

i think get-content needs to have the option -raw at the end…
without -raw you will get an array auf strings… but the editor aks for string… i belive

tried it - doesn’t work …

This works for me.

        New-UDCodeEditor -Height '500' -Language 'powershell' -Id 'editor'
        New-UDButton -OnClick {
            Set-UDElement -Id 'editor' -Attributes @{
                code = 'heelo'
            }
        }

I think your example doesn’t work because the editor isn’t yet loaded when you call Set-UDElement. I would change your example to:

$Script = ""
if (Test-Path D:\UniversalDashboard\SCRIPT\script.ps1) {
    $script = Get-Content D:\UniversalDashboard\SCRIPT\script.ps1
}
New-UDCodeEditor -Height ‘500’ -Language ‘powershell’ -Id ‘editor’ -Code $Script

Works. Magnificent work =)
