I am looking at dynamically creating a bunch of advanced features. I used New-PSScript for this, but it does not allow to use all the flexibility that I am looking for.
I read the man page on advanced function parameters and saw something about dynamic parameters at the end of the help article, which gives the following code example
function Sample {
Param ([String]$Name, [String]$Path)
DynamicParam
{
if ($path -match "*HKLM*:")
{
$dynParam1 = new-object
System.Management.Automation.RuntimeDefinedParameter("dp1",
[Int32], $attributeCollection)
$attributes = new-object System.Management.Automation.ParameterAttribute
$attributes.ParameterSetName = 'pset1'
$attributes.Mandatory = $false
$attributeCollection = new-object
-Type System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection``1[System.Attribute]
$attributeCollection.Add($attributes)
$paramDictionary = new-object
System.Management.Automation.RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary
$paramDictionary.Add("dp1", $dynParam1)
return $paramDictionary
} End if
}
}
I am wondering if I can use the RuntimeDefinedParameter and attribute collection to generate new functions.
Some semi-pseudo-codes may look like this. The two key functions that I (think) I'm trying to build are New-Parameter and Add-Parameter.
$attributes1 = @{Mandatory=$true;Position=0;ValueFromPipeline=$true}
$param1 = New-Paramater -name foo -attributes $attributes1
$attributes2 = @{Mandatory=$true;Position=1}
$param2 = New-Paramater -name bar -attributes $attributes2
cd function:
$function = new-item -name Get-FooBar -value {"there is a $foo in the $bar"}
Add-Parameter -function $function -paramater $param1,$param2
Am I completely barking the wrong tree? If there are other ways to do this, I am widely open to opportunities.
