Description
Summary of the new feature
I prefer to have all $Object.'properties' wrapped in single quotes.
- Makes it easy to see whats a property and whats a method.
- Uniformity for all properties: Properties with characters like whitespace must be wrapped in single or double quotes.
Today I do this manually. Would be awesome with an autoformat rule that wraps properties into string single quotes.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Before autoformat:
$Object.property
$Object.method()
After autoformat:
$Object.'property'
$Object.method()
What is the latest version of PSScriptAnalyzer at the point of writing
v1.24.0
