ISE Snippets for DSC Resource functions

PowerShell ISE 4.0 includes a couple of snippets for DSC including the DSC Resource Provider (Simple). This, in fact, is too simple.

It lacks output type for Get and Test functions and also the most frequently used Ensure property in the function definition. I decided to create my own snippets. I have also added the content for DSC class-defined resources in PowerShell 5.0. Here is the code for creating these snippets:

$GetTargetResource = @'
#TODO - Add the logic for Get-TargetResource
#TODO - Always return a hash table from this function
#TODO - Remove $Ensure if it is not required

function Get-TargetResource
{
    [OutputType([Hashtable])]
    param (
       [Parameter()]
       [ValidateSet('Present','Absent')]
       [string]
       $Ensure = 'Present'
    )
}
'@

$SetTargetResource = @'
#TODO - Add the logic for Set-TargetResource
#TODO - Do not return any value from this function
#TODO - Remove $Ensure if it is not required
function Set-TargetResource
{
    param (
       [Parameter()]
       [ValidateSet('Present','Absent')]
       [string]
       $Ensure = 'Present'
    )
}
'@

$TestTargetResource = @'
#TODO - Add the logic for Test-TargetResource
#TODO - Return only Boolean value from this function
#TODO - Remove $Ensure if it is not required
function Test-TargetResource
{
    [OutputType([boolean])]
    param (
       [parameter()]
       [ValidateSet('Present','Absent')]
       [string]
       $Ensure = 'Present'
    )
}
'@

$DSCClassResource = @'
#TODO - Update ClassName with your resource name
#TODO - Remove Ensure enum if not required
#ToDO - Add the logic required for Get, Set, and Test functions

enum Ensure
{
    Absent
    Present
}

[DscResource()]
class <ClassName>
{
    [Ensure] $Ensure

[void] Set()
{

}

[bool] Test()
{

}

[Hashtable] Get()
{

}

}
'@

That creates four snippets in ISE:

A code for these snippets is available as a Gist on Github.
