Parameters with default value not in PsBoundParameters?
- by stej
General code
Consider this code:
PS> function Test { param($p='default value') $PsBoundParameters }
PS> Test 'some value'
Key Value
--- -----
p some value
PS> Test
# nothing
I would expect that $PsBoundParameters would contain record for $p variable on both cases. Is that correct behaviour?
Question
I'd like to use splatting for a lot of functions that would work like this:
function SomeFuncWithManyRequiredParams {
param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$p1,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$p2,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$p3,
...other parameters
)
...
}
function SimplifiedFuncWithDefaultValues {
param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$false)][string]$p1='default for p1',
[Parameter(Mandatory=$false)][string]$p2='default for p2',
[Parameter(Mandatory=$false)][string]$p3='default for p3',
...other parameters
)
SomeFuncWithManyRequiredParams @PsBoundParameters
}
I have more functions like this and I don't want to call SomeFuncWithManyRequiredParams with all the params enumerated:
SomeFuncWithManyRequiredParams -p1 $p1 -p2 $p2 -p3 $p3 ...
Is it possible?
