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...

PnP

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

Nigel

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

  Hi Nigel_Price9911,
  
  You don't need to add the double quotes to the file names. So either:
  
  Get-PnPClientSidePage A-Modern-Page.aspx
  or
  if you prefer to enter it on the Identity prompt then also no quotes.

    Hi Pieter
    
    I tried that and I still get the "Object Reference not set to an instance of an Object"
