Microsoft 365 CLI PowerShell predictor

[anoopt]

Intro

A few months ago I came across the Az Predictor PowerShell module which is an intelligent command completion module for Azure PowerShell.

So, I had a discussion with @waldekmastykarz and thought we could something similar for Microsoft 365 CLI PowerShell.

What it can/should do

A predictor that gets all the examples of the CLI commands from the docs and shows them to the users as they start typing the m365 cmdlets. Since the docs are installed as part of the M365 CLI installation, the predictions will be as per the version of M365 CLI installed (thank you @waldekmastykarz for this tip).

Demo

Below is an example of the predictor built so far using the command line predictor documentation. We can see that as we type m365 ... the CLI Predictor starts showing the examples from the docs.

Code

I have also shared the code on GitHub which can be looked into for more details.

Next steps

Happy to get everyone's input on this and see if this is worth adding to the project

this is really awesome 🤩🤩🤩. We have to ship it 🚀🚀
amazing work @anoopt 👍.
question:

• will this also work with posh 5? or only 7? I see in the related blog it is only version 7+ but maybe something changed 🤔. for sure we need to include the proper version in the docs.
• does the predicator module you added by default show the predictions from history?

[anoopt]

Thank you @Adam-it

• The pre-req is PowerShell 7.2+ and a module called PSReadline v2.2.2+
• The source of prediction can be set once the PSReadline module is installed. Not sure about the default setting but, we can change the source to be either History or Plugin or HistoryAndPlugin using Set-PSReadLineOption -PredictionSource HistoryAndPlugin
