Invoke-ConvertFromYaml

SYNOPSIS

Wrapper cmdlet for ConvertFrom-Yaml

SYNTAX

Invoke-ConvertFromYaml [-InputObject] <String> [[-Parameters] <Hashtable>]

DESCRIPTION

This is a wrapper cmdlet for calling ConvertFrom-YAML to get around the issue of loading the powershell-yaml and PlatyPS modules at the same time (https://github.com/PowerShell/platyPS/issues/592). This cmdlet allows you to pass parameters through to ConvertTo-YAML via a hashtable.

EXAMPLES

Example 1: Convert YAML

$YAML = @"
---
string: "hello, world!"
