New module, with added UD Support!

BoSen29 · December 5, 2019, 6:21pm

Evening lads,
I’ve just finished my initial release of SkykickAPI for powershell.
Currently, i’ve mainly implemented the backup-part of Skykick, will give the migration part a go the next time i’m migrating someone.
Check it out on PowerShellGallery or Github:

Or just :

Install-Module SkykickAPI

Now the fun part: in order to stay consistent between endpoints, and Skykick’s API actually blocking you if you login too many times while you have an active token, I’ve actually solved storing of credentials a fancy way:
Check these:

github.com

BoSen29/SkykickAPI/blob/master/Public/Get-SKVariable.ps1

function Get-SKVariable {
    [CmdletBinding()]
    param(
        [Parameter(
            Mandatory = $true, 
            Position = 0, 
            ValueFromPipeline=$true)]
        [string]$name
    )

    Begin {

    }

    Process {
        if (!(Get-Module "UniversalDashboard*")) {
            $return = (Get-Variable -Name "script:$name" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Scope Global -ValueOnly)
        }
        else {
            $return =  (Get-Item -PSPath "Cache:$name" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)

BoSen29/SkykickAPI/blob/master/Public/Set-SKVariable.ps1

function Set-SKVariable {
    [CmdletBinding()]
    param(
        [Parameter(
            Mandatory = $true, 
            Position=0)]
        [string]$name,
        [Parameter(
            Mandatory = $true, 
            Position=1,
            ValueFromPipeline = $true)]
        $value
    )
    Begin {

    }

    Process {
        if (!(Get-Module "UniversalDashboard*")) {
            Set-Variable -Name "script:$name" -Value $value -Scope Global

Basically, whenever i need a cached variable, I check if UniversalDashboard is loaded. If UD is loaded then it will use the $cache, and if not it will use the $script.

I’ll throw in some UD Examples when i start implementing it in my dev enviroment.

Happy hunting!

Skykick is a backup and migration tool for Office365 yeah! Quite handy if i may say so myself!
I’m still waiting for demo / image dude

I’m still waiting on the screen gif of your module working tomorrow my friend…as I tell my kids…all good things come to those who wait…it’s really not that exiciting mine, or as in-depth technically as yours…but it’s something

Looking forward to your gifs :-3
