How to get a list of functions in a PowerShell Gallery package after installation?


How to get a list of PowerShell functions in a newly installed PowerShell package from the PowerShell Gallery?

I just installed a package via Install-Module -Name ModuleName. I would like to be able to explore all the functionality from this package. Such as all functions I could call in that package from my scripts.


Solution

  • Get-Command -Module <ModuleName>
    

    For example:

    Install-Module -Name PSScriptAnalyzer
    
    Get-Command -Module PSScriptAnalyzer
    
    CommandType     Name                                       Version    Source
    -----------     ----                                       -------    ------
    Cmdlet          Get-ScriptAnalyzerRule                     1.23.0     PSScriptAnalyzer
    Cmdlet          Invoke-Formatter                           1.23.0     PSScriptAnalyzer
    Cmdlet          Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer                      1.23.0     PSScriptAnalyzer
