# ChocoMan
A PowerShell wrapper around Chocolatey.
## Why it exists
Mostly for fun, but I also got tired of parsing raw output of Chocolatey commands in my deployment scripts. I figured having each command outputs a standardized PowerShell object would help somehow.
## Installing this module
This module is available in [PowerShell Gallery](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/ChocoMan):
```powershell
Install-Module ChocoMan
```
Or, download it from here and save all of the files somewhere in your `$PSModulePath`.
## Before you start
Before using this package, you need to make sure that Chocolatey is installed on your device.
You can valide this with the `choco --version` command.
```powershell
PS C:\> choco --version
2.1.0
```
You can also install it using this module with the `Install-Choco` command.
```powershell
PS C:\> Install-Choco
Chocolatey v2.1.0 installed
```
## Using the module
First things first, you need to import it `Import-Module ChocoMan`
## Hide the activity indicator
The activity indicator can be hidden by setting the `ProgressPreference` variable to `SilentlyContinue`
```powershell
PS C:\> Set-Variable ProgressPreference SilentlyContinue ; Get-ChocoOutdated
```
