How do I know if a page is in modern UI mode using PnPPowerShell ?

I need to audit a site and one of my tasks is to ensure that all pages are in Modern UI mode, the other thing I need to know is what Client Side Web Parts are deployed to each page.

 

I want to use the PnP PowerShell commands (or even just PowerShell CSOM commands)

 

Thanks

    Get-PnPClientSidePage throws error if you are trying to find details of OOTB pages (or pages created in browser). 

    It works on custom pages created using pnp cmdlets.

    Here is the issue opened in Github.

      Hi Pieter

      What is the diffeence between get-PnPWebPart and Get-PnPClientSidePAge ?

      I get "object reference not set to an instant of an object" when I use Get-PnPClientSidePage.

      I get nothing when I use Get-PnPWebPart

       

       

      The page was created in the root site and is has the modern UI.

       

      Regards

        You should get something like this:

         

        Get-PnPClientSidePage home.aspx


PageTitle           : 
Sections            : {OfficeDevPnP.Core.Pages.CanvasSection}
Controls            : {7f718435-ee4d-431c-bdbf-9c4ff326f46e, a5df8fdf-b508-4b66-98a6-d83bc2597f63, df611e7c-5498-4843-a936-14e8ec332dcd, eb95c819-ab8f-4689-bd03-0c2d65d47b1f}
LayoutType          : Home
KeepDefaultWebParts : False
Context             : OfficeDevPnP.Core.PnPClientContext
PagesLibrary        : SitePages
PageListItem        : Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItem
DefaultSection      : OfficeDevPnP.Core.Pages.CanvasSection
CommentsDisabled    : False

         if you had a traditional page you would get:

         

        Get-PnPClientSidePage : Page 'home.aspx' does not exist
