Structuring PowerShell Modules

suggest change

Rather than defining all of your functions in a single .psm1 PowerShell script module file, you might want to break apart your function into individual files. You can then dot-source these files from your script module file, which in essence, treats them as if they were part of the .psm1 file itself.

Consider this module directory structure:

\MyCoolModule
  \Functions
    Function1.ps1
    Function2.ps1
    Function3.ps1
MyCoolModule.psd1
MyCoolModule.psm1

Inside your MyCoolModule.psm1 file, you could insert the following code:

Get-ChildItem -Path $PSScriptRoot\Functions | 
  ForEach-Object -Process { . $PSItem.FullName }

This would dot-source the individual function files into the .psm1 module file.
