• How to use config files for modules?

  There's a configuration module I've used here. You can export a hashtable config to a .psd1 file, which you can import with Import-PowerShellDataFile

• Best practice? How to leverage a .psd1 config file for a module
  2 projects | /r/PowerShell | 9 Jun 2022

  What i've decided on recently was that there should be config file, or settings file, that contains the default values I would normally supply to this private function. I've read the ramblingcookiemonster blog about config data: http://ramblingcookiemonster.github.io/PowerShell-Configuration-Data/ and I've read about the Configuration module and PSDkit module. My preference would be to write my own code for my purposes.

• Creating a 'reference' list similar to the output of 'Get-Verb'?

  Thanks! I dunno how i missed going over CSV and arrays, because I literally JUST got the hang of hashtables working on another project of mine dealing with psd1 files and using them as script/module config files in a manner similar to PoShCodes Configuration module (https://github.com/PoshCode/Configuration) but much simpler, without all the added complexity, as all i needed it for was as a place to store variables corresponding to paths, aliases, and a few misc values. and had to learn how to structure hashtables and how to read values from them to do it. Ill definitely read back up on it and give it a try and post back when i get something working, thanks!

  For "global variables", I think what you're looking for is some sort of configuration file. I personally use a PSD1 file, but others may prefer json, XML or YAML. There is also a module on github called Configuration that may be useful.

• Best Practice for not overwriting certain data when pushing shared module/library updates

  If you don't want to re-invent the wheel, you could take a dependency on and use something like https://github.com/PoshCode/Configuration
