NAME

GenXdev.Webbrowser

SYNOPSIS

A Windows PowerShell module that allows you to run scripts against your casual desktop webbrowser-tab

FEATURES

* ✅ evaluating javascript-strings, javascript-files in opened webbrowser-tab
* ✅ adding html script tags, by url, to opened webbrowser-tabs, for normal javascript files or modules
* ✅ evaluating scripts, with support for async patterns, like promises
* ✅ evaluating asynchronous scripts, with support for yielded PowerShell pipeline returns

* ✅ launching of default browser, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome or Firefox
* ✅ launching of webbrowser with full control of window positioning
* ✅ launching of webbrowser in ApplicationMode, Incognito/In-Private
* ✅ repositioning of already opened webbrowser

NOTES

In your PowerShell profile script,
you can set a global variable named DefaultSecondaryMonitor.
This allows you to setup your prefered webbrowser launch monitor.

e.g.

   # Disable default placement of browser window
   Set-Variable -Name DefaultSecondaryMonitor -Value -1 -Scope Global

   # Place browser windows by default on 3th monitor (0 = Primary monitor, 1 = first, 2 = second,  etc)
   Set-Variable -Name DefaultSecondaryMonitor -Value 3 -Scope Global

EXAMPLE

        document.body.innerHTML = JSON.stringify(data.files);
        data.title = document.title;
        return 123;
    ";

    Write-Host "
        Document title : $($Global:Data.title)
        return value   : $Number
    ";

NOTES

    Requires the Windows 10+ Operating System
    This cmdlet was mend to be used, interactively.
    It performs some strange tricks to position windows, including invoking alt-tab 
    keystrokes.
    It is best not to touch the keyboard or mouse, while it is doing that.
    For fast launches of multple urls:
    SET    : -Monitor -1
    AND    : DO NOT use any of these switches: -X, -Y, -Left, -Right, -Top, -Bottom or 
    -RestoreFocus
    For browsers that are not installed on the system, no actions may be performed or 
    errors occur - at all.
