If no filename is specified, the function tries to read the script's main settings from a file named "settings.json" in the $PSScriptRoot directory. This settings file can contain a path to additional settings files. The function will then try to read all .json files from the specified path (non-recursive). .PARAMETER Path The path to the .json file to be read. If omitted, the script assumes '$PSScriptRoot\settings.json' .PARAMETER Encoding Allows to specify the encoding of the file to be read. Defaults to 'utf8'. .PARAMETER DefaultSettings Allows to specify some default settings as fall back that are returned if the specified settings file can not be read successfully or the file is empty. .EXAMPLE $Settings = Get-ALHScriptSetting -Path 'C:\MyScript\Settings.json' -Verbose Returns the settings saved in the JSON file as PSCustomObject. .INPUTS Nothing .OUTPUTS PSCustomObject .NOTES Author: Dieter Koch Email: diko@admins-little-helper.de .LINK https://github.com/admins-little-helper/ALH/blob/main/Help/Get-ALHScriptSetting.txt #> [OutputType([PSCustomObject])] [CmdletBinding()] param( [ValidateScript({ # Check if the given path is valid. if (-not (Test-Path -Path $_) ) { throw "The specified settings file does not exist." } # Check if the given path is a directory. if (Test-Path -Path $_ -PathType Container) { throw "The Path argument must be a file.
