Getting Started with Using Templates

You can create a new file from a template by running the Invoke-PSMDTemplate command and specifying the name of the template to initialize:

Invoke-PSMDTemplate -TemplateName function

If you want to store it somewhere else, specify the output path:

Invoke-PSMDTemplate -TemplateName module -OutPath "C:\temp"

Do not specify file or project name in the outpath - those are all covered within the template.

Additional information

• It is possible to specify template parameters as hashtable, in order to avoid interactive prompts.
• It is possible to first use Get-PSMDTemplate to select just what template to create from (handy in case of multiple versions)
• It is possible to set up default parameters, in order to always set the same value on the same template parameter prompt
