[Improvement] Own folder for DSCResource classes about dscr-for-vmware HOT 6 CLOSED

Unfortunately this doesn't work. It's not possible to export DSC resource from dot sourced files. There is a workaround though we decided not to use for now. It is to write the resources in separate files and then merge them in a single psm1 file with a script.

Well that's unfortunate. I didn't know this but i agree that the cleanest solution is to include it in psm1 for now.

Maybe with a pre-commit hook on client-side could work but i would say that leads to more trouble than worth.

An indirect consequence of having one "big" file and Visual Studio Code issue#869 is that the infamous "Formatting PowerShell Document" pops up quite regularly.
The bigger the .psm1 is going to become, the more impractical it is going to be to work with Visual Studio Code.

Also i think the more and more DSC Resources willl get implemented it will be very cumbersome to maintain PRs as each one has to merge the same files?

What about using a local PS script to build the one and only .psm1 ?

We have started to work on the separation of the resources in different files.

Resources are now separated in different files in the dev branch and there is a build script updating the psm1 and psd1 files.
