# EditorServicesProcess
The EditorServicesProcess module allows you to enter a runspace in the integrated console of a PowerShell Editor Services editor from outside the integrated console. From this runspace you can interact with the `$psEditor` editor object and all of the functions from the Commands module such as `Find-Ast`, `Set-ScriptExtent`, etc.
## Installation
### Gallery
```powershell
Install-Module EditorServicesProcess -Scope CurrentUser
```
### Source
#### VSCode
- `git clone 'https://github.com/SeeminglyScience/EditorServicesProcess.git'`
- Open EditorServicesProcess in VSCode
- Run task `Install`
#### PowerShell
```powershell
git clone 'https://github.com/SeeminglyScience/EditorServicesProcess.git'
Set-Location .\EditorServicesProcess
Invoke-Build -Task Install
```
## Usage
### Entering
```powershell
# Enter the first process that is open to a workspace with a matching path
Get-EditorServicesProcess -Workspace *MyProject* | Enter-EditorServicesProcess
# Or enter a specific process
Enter-EditorServicesProcess -ProcessId 32412
```
### Interacting
```powershell
# Use the $psEditor object
$psEditor.GetEditorContext().SelectedRange
# Or any of the functions from the Commands module
Find-Ast { $_.VariablePath.UserPath -eq '_' } | Set-ScriptExtent -Text '$PSItem'
# Get variables from the main runspace (psEditorRunspace variable is created by this module)
$psEditorRunspace.SessionStateProxy.PSVariable.GetValue('myVarName')
# Even debug the main runspace (YMMV, you fight with PSES for control)
Debug-Runspace $psEditorRunspace
```
### Returning
```powershell
exit
```
## TODO
1. ~~Add function to invoke a scriptblock in the main runspace.~~ Done.
