Import-PlatyPSModule

SYNOPSIS

Imports the PlatyPS module avoiding collisions with other modules.

SYNTAX

Import-PlatyPSModule [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Currently the PlatyPS and powershell-yaml modules cannot be loaded at the same time due both requiring the YAMLDotNet assembly but attempting to load different versions. This is already fixed in powershell-yaml and should be fixed with V2 of PlatyPS (https://github.com/PowerShell/platyPS/issues/592) but a build has not yet been released that incorporates these changes.
Therefore for the time being we have custom loaders to ensure the modules are imported and disposed of when finished.

EXAMPLES

Example 1

PS C:\> Import-PlatyPSModule

Would import the PlatyPS module providing powershell-yaml is not currently loaded.
