Getting started Get module cross references

The 'Get-CrossReferencedModuleList' function helps you with discovering cross-modules references. It checks for any 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.

How it works

When invoking the script:

1. The function fetches all references implemented in the modules in a given path.
2. The function groups them into the '<ProviderNameSpace>/<ResourceType>' hierarchy by type:
   • Resource (API) deployments
   • Local module (file) references
   • Remote module references (e.g., Bicep Registry / Template Specs)

Note: The function collects the information recursively. That means, if module A has a dependency on module B, and Module B a dependency on module C, than A will show a dependency on both B & C (i.e., it is transitive).

Note: If you provide the -Verbose switch, the function further prints all local module references to the terminal

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.
