It checks Global variables first (unless SkipSession is specified), then uses system defaults. .PARAMETER DatabasePath Optional database path override. If specified, this path will be returned instead of retrieving from configuration. .PARAMETER ClearSession When specified, clears the session database path setting (Global variable) before retrieving the configuration. .PARAMETER SkipSession When specified, skips checking the session setting (Global variable) and retrieves only from persistent preferences. .EXAMPLE Get-GenXdevPreferencesDatabasePath Gets the currently configured database path from Global variables or preferences. .EXAMPLE Get-GenXdevPreferencesDatabasePath -SkipSession Gets the configured database path using system defaults, ignoring any session setting. .EXAMPLE Get-GenXdevPreferencesDatabasePath -ClearSession Clears the session database path setting and then gets the path using system defaults. .EXAMPLE Get-GenXdevPreferencesDatabasePath "C:\MyPreferences.db" Returns the specified path after expanding the path. #> function Get-GenXdevPreferencesDatabasePath { [CmdletBinding()] [Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute('PSAvoidGlobalVars', '')] param( ############################################################################### [Parameter( Mandatory = $false, Position = 0, HelpMessage = 'Database path for preference data files' )] [Alias('DatabasePath')] [string] $PreferencesDatabasePath, ############################################################################### # Use alternative settings stored in session for Data preferences like Language, Database paths, etc [Parameter( Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = 'Use alternative settings stored in session for Data preferences like Language, Database paths, etc' )] [switch] $SessionOnly, ############################################################################### # clear the session setting (Global variable) before retrieving [Parameter( Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = 'Clear the session setting (Global variable) before retrieving' )] [switch] $ClearSession, ############################################################################### # Dont use alternative settings stored in session for Data preferences like Language, Database paths, etc [Parameter( Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = 'Dont use alternative settings stored in session for Data preferences like Language, Database paths, etc' )] [Alias('FromPreferences')] [switch] $SkipSession ) begin { # handle clearing session variables first if requested if ($ClearSession) { $Global:PreferencesDatabasePath = $null Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility\Write-Verbose ( 'Cleared session database path setting: PreferencesDatabasePath' ) } # get configured database path from preference store $resolvedDatabasePath = $null if (-not ([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($PreferencesDatabasePath))) { $resolvedDatabasePath = GenXdev.FileSystem\Expand-Path "$PreferencesDatabasePath" -CreateDirectory return } # check global variable first (unless SkipSession is specified), then fall back to default (unless SessionOnly is specified) if ((-not $SkipSession) -and (-not ([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($Global:PreferencesDatabasePath)))) { $resolvedDatabasePath = $Global:PreferencesDatabasePath return } if (-not $SessionOnly) { # use default path since no session variable or JSON file $resolvedDatabasePath = GenXdev.FileSystem\Expand-Path ` "$($Env:LOCALAPPDATA)\GenXdev\Preferences.db" ` -CreateDirectory if (-not [string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($resolvedDatabasePath)) { return } } # SessionOnly is specified but no session variable found, use default $resolvedDatabasePath = GenXdev.FileSystem\Expand-Path ` "$($Env:LOCALAPPDATA)\GenXdev\Preferences.db" ` -CreateDirectory } end { Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility\Write-Verbose ` "Using provided database path: $resolvedDatabasePath" Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility\Write-Output (GenXdev.FileSystem\Expand-Path "$resolvedDatabasePath") } } |
