# ModulePath

This module can be used to get and set the new [PSModulePath Config Setting in PowerShell 7](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_powershell_config?view=powershell-7.4#psmodulepath), which allows you to set your PSModulePath default directory. This is useful for targeting modules outside of OneDrive.

Please note that `PSGet/PSResourceGet` do not have native support for this new directory, and you will need to use Save-Module/Save-PSResource instead of Install-Module/Install-PSResource. As an alternative, consider [ModuleFast](https://github.com/justingrote/modulefast) which has native support and detection for powershell.config.json.

## Quick Start

```powershell

#Returns nothing if your powershell.config.json has not been configured yet

Get-ModulePathConfig 

#Preview setting the module path to this, optionally creating it if it doesn't exist. 

Set-ModulePathConfig -Path '%LOCALAPPDATA%\powershell\Modules' -Whatif 

#Apply the setting. Optionally specify -AllUsers to specify it at the PowerShell level (usually requires admin rights unless powershell is locally installed into your users directory)

Set-ModulePathConfig -Path '%LOCALAPPDATA%\powershell\Modules' # Sets the module path for the user

#Gets your current active primary PSModulePath. Note that a restart of PowerShell is required for the above to take effect.

Get-ModulePath

Get-ModulePath -AllUsers

```
