Debug

A collection of debugging tools for helping to develop modern PowerShell applications.

For example: objects color highlighting, various code metrics and performance benchmarks.

Install

PS> Install-Module Debug

The Module is using:

• ColoredText - for highlighting.
• Parser for the syntax analysis.

Projects using Debug:

• SystemCleaner.

Features:

• Highlights Format-List.
• Highlights Format-Table.
• Highlights Format-Custom.
• Highlights Get-Member.
• Fully adjustable.
• Tab completion in ISE and Console.
• Lots of syntactic sugar.
• Numerous helper classes for code
  analysis and debugging porpuses IN DEVELOPMENT

Disclaimer:

In order to get the most out of color highlighted modules, and enjoy their full potential,
it is highly recommended to use the ConEmu console with the Oceans16 theme!
Also, check out the other numerous themes over there, maybe you'll find one you like even better!

Debug-Object

The debug function wraps around the PowerShell formatting Cmdlets
and highlights their output with multiple colors.

It prints, objects, collections, hashtables and any other
data structures in the nice, human-readable form!

Debug-Object or just debug:

Argument	Default	Description
-Object	Mandatory	Object to Highlight.
-View	List	Output format List, Members, Method, Property, Tree, Table.
-Depth	1	The depth of the Tree View.
-TableStyle	Rows	Table View output style Rows, Columns

Autocompletion

This could be helpful while working in the console, to autocomplete the available local variables.

Table View

The Table View is fully functional, though still in development and change-prone with a high probability!

Right now, it does not mimic the exact output of the Format-Table Cmdlet, rather than using some inner technique to prepare the object for highlighting.
