❓ Classes

Methods are used to execute predefined actions. This may be changing a property of the object itself, or a change to the the thing the object represents, or it might be used to generate something new from the object.

class File {
[string] $Path
Create() {
New-Item -Path $this.Path -ItemType File 
}
}

$file = [File]@{
Path = "c:\temp\test.txt"
}
$file.Create()

Will you see any output in the shell?

❗ Classes

A method in a class can be assigned one or more arguments.
The return keyword must be used to return a value from the method

class File {
[string] $Path
[void] Create([String] $content) {
New-Item -Path $this.Path -ItemType File -Value $Content -Force
}
[String[]] ReadAll() {
return [System.IO.File]::ReadAllLines($this.Path)
}
}
