如何递归枚举对象的属性？

出于性能原因，我已开始重写 VMware 每日报告，尽可能使用 Get-View，而不是相关的 PowerCLI 命令。这样做的一个小不便是，返回的视图对象通常具有许多属性，其中许多属性本身就是对象。某些属性嵌套四层或更多层。

因此，我尝试创建一个函数，它将输出对象的所有属性以及该属性的完整路径。然后可以将其通过管道传输到Where-Object，以便更轻松地查找特定属性。因此，要在 $v 中存储的 VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine 对象上查找与 Host 相关的属性，我会输入如下内容：

Get-Properties -Object $v | ? {$_ -match "Host"}

理想情况下，这将返回 $v 的所有嵌套属性的列表，其中包含单词“Host”。

我怎样才能做到这一点？

也许有一种更简单的方法可以做到这一点，但这就是我想到的：

function Get-Properties($Object, $MaxLevels="5", $PathName = "`$_", $Level=0)
{
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
        Returns a list of all properties of the input object

        .DESCRIPTION
        Recursively 

        .PARAMETER Object
        Mandatory - The object to list properties of

        .PARAMETER MaxLevels
        Specifies how many levels deep to list

        .PARAMETER PathName
        Specifies the path name to use as the root. If not specified, all properties will start with "."

        .PARAMETER Level
        Specifies which level the function is currently processing. Should not be used manually.

        .EXAMPLE
        $v = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Filter @{"Name" = "MyVM"}
        Get-Properties $v | ? {$_ -match "Host"}

    if ($Level -eq 0) 
    { 
        $oldErrorPreference = $ErrorActionPreference
        $ErrorActionPreference = "SilentlyContinue"
    }

    #Initialize an array to store properties
    $props = @()

    # Get all properties of this level
    $rootProps = $Object | Get-Member -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Where-Object { $_.MemberType -match "Property"} 

    # Add all properties from this level to the array.
    $rootProps | ForEach-Object { $props += "$PathName.$($_.Name)" }

    # Make sure we're not exceeding the MaxLevels
    if ($Level -lt $MaxLevels)
    {

        # We don't care about the sub-properties of the following types:
        $typesToExclude = "System.Boolean", "System.String", "System.Int32", "System.Char"

        #Loop through the root properties
        $props += $rootProps | ForEach-Object {

                    #Base name of property
                    $propName = $_.Name;

                    #Object to process
                    $obj = $($Object.$propName)

                    # Get the type, and only recurse into it if it is not one of our excluded types
                    $type = ($obj.GetType()).ToString()

                    # Only recurse if it's not of a type in our list
                    if (!($typesToExclude.Contains($type) ) )
                    {

                        #Path to property
                        $childPathName = "$PathName.$propName"

                        # Make sure it's not null, then recurse, incrementing $Level                        
                        if ($obj -ne $null) 
                        {
                            Get-Properties -Object $obj -PathName $childPathName -Level ($Level + 1) -MaxLevels $MaxLevels }
                        }
                    }
    }

    if ($Level -eq 0) {$ErrorActionPreference = $oldErrorPreference}
    $props
}

使用命令运行时

Get-Properties -Object $v | ? {$_ -match "Host" }

它返回

考虑到 VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine 对象有 5087 个嵌套属性，这是查找所需内容的更简单的方法。希望这可以帮助其他人。
