Polaris

Join the chat at https://gitter.im/PowerShell/Polaris Build Status PowerShell Gallery

A cross-platform, minimalist web framework for PowerShell.

Disclaimer

Polaris is currently an unsupported, experimental, proof-of-concept. There is no current plan to turn it into a supported Microsoft product.

That being said, we do plan on continuing to experiment within this repository for the foreseeable future.

Example

New-PolarisGetRoute -Path "/helloworld" -Scriptblock {
    $Response.Send('Hello World!')
}

Start-Polaris

Why yet another web framework for PowerShell?

There have been a great list of other micro web frameworks written over the years (Thanks @jaykul for the list!).

Polaris' differentiation is that it is cross-platform and uses the .NET HttpListener class.
