Getting started Get module cross references

The 'Get-LinkedLocalModuleList' function helps you with discovering cross-modules dependencies. It checks for any local module references in a given path. This can be useful to determine which modules' folder you'd need to keep in case you'd only want to cherry-pick certain modules from the library.

Location

You can find the script under 'utilities/tools/Get-LinkedLocalModuleList.ps1'.

How it works

When invoking the script:

1. The function leverages the utility Get-LinkedModuleList to fetch all references implemented in the modules in a given path.
2. The function filters these references down to only local references (i.e., cross-module references) and formats them to show a consistent '<ProviderNameSpace>/<ResourceType>' format.
3. Finally, it prints the references to the invoking terminal, group by ResourceType.

How to use it

Note: The script must be loaded ('dot-sourced') before the function can be invoked.

For details on how to use the function, please refer to the script's local documentation.

Related function: Get-LinkedModuleList

The function 'Get-LinkedModuleList' (also in path 'utilities/tools') is leveraged by the 'Get-LinkedLocalModuleList' function, but can also be invoked on its own. You can use it to get an overview of all references implemented in any module in a given path. This includes:

• Resource deployments
• Cross-Module references
• Remove-Module references (e.g., Bicep Registry)

Note: The script must be loaded ('dot-sourced') before the function can be invoked.

For details on how to use the function, please refer to the script's local documentation.
