PowerTip: Find and Import Modules

Hi Ed,

you can also import dynamic modules:

PS II>  New-Module -Name DynamicModule -Script {

 function hello { b $args[0] }

 function b($name) { write "hello $name" }

} -function hello | Import-Module -PassThru -Verbose

PS II> hello $env:USERNAME

@Walid Toumi that is a great tip thank you for sharing it. Let me ask you, how would you use a dynamic module? When does it make sense to you to do this?

@Ed

1- i use "New-Module" with "AsCustomObject" parameter to convert my dynamic modules into objects members and make their use simple

PS II>

$objMod=New-Module -Name DynamicModule -Script {

function hello { b $args[0] }

function b($name) { write "hello $name" }

} -function hello | Import-Module -PassThru -Verbose -AsCustomObject

PS II> $objMod.hello("$env:username")

2- i use "New-Module" because is in memory not in disk and much easier to quickly group functions in memory and make them as a unit

(sorry for my english)

basic but essential
