Export Sharepoint Online lists with their content to PnP template via PnP PowerShell

As you probably know it is possible to export Sharepoint Online sites to PnP template using Get-PnPSiteTemplate cmdlet. By default it will export only structure but it is also possible to export Sharepoint lists with content (list items) to PnP template. This is quite commonly needed request in many maintenance tasks. Of course you may save list as template with content from UI but if you need to automate it this option is not very convenient.

If you need to export Sharepoint list with its content to PnP template use the following commands:

Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://{mytenant}.sharepoint.com/sites/foo -Interactive
Get-PnPSiteTemplate -Out template.pnp -ListsToExtract "Test" -Handlers Lists
Add-PnPDataRowsToSiteTemplate -Path template.pnp -List "Test"

In this example we export list Test with list items to PnP template template.pnp. Hope that it will help someone.
