Synopsis

Exports type definitions to PowerShell scripts

Description

Exports a type definition to a PowerShell Script.

Export-TypeView can export existing extended types to disk.

If provided a -Path, Export-TypeView will export type definitions into the same format used by Import-TypeView.

If -Debug is passed, or no -Path is provided, Export-TypeView will export type definitions into a series of Update-TypeData statements.

Example

# Exports the type definitions in EZOut to a [ScriptBlock]
Get-Module EZOut | Export-TypeData

# Exports the type definitions in all local *.types.ps1xml to a [ScriptBlock]
Get-Item *.types.ps1xml | Export-TypeData

# Exports the type definitions in Posh to a [ScriptBlock]
Get-TypeData -TypeName Posh | Export-TypeData

# Exports the type definitions in Posh to .\Types
Get-TypeData -TypeName Posh | Export-TypeData -Path ".\Types"
