Getting all Named Parameters from Powershell including empty and set ones

by

Check this solution out. This uses the CmdletBinding() attribute, which provides some additional metadata through the use of the $PSCmdlet built-in variable. You can:

  1. Dynamically retrieve the command’s name, using $PSCmdlet
  2. Get a list of the parameter for the command, using Get-Command
  3. Examine the value of each parameter, using the Get-Variable cmdlet

Code:

function test {
    [CmdletBinding()]
    param (
          [string] $Bar="test"
        , [string] $Baz
        , [string] $Asdf
    )
    # Get the command name
    $CommandName = $PSCmdlet.MyInvocation.InvocationName;
    # Get the list of parameters for the command
    $ParameterList = (Get-Command -Name $CommandName).Parameters;

    # Grab each parameter value, using Get-Variable
    foreach ($Parameter in $ParameterList) {
        Get-Variable -Name $Parameter.Values.Name -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue;
        #Get-Variable -Name $ParameterList;
    }
}

test -asdf blah;

Output

The output from the command looks like this:

Name                           Value                                           
----                           -----                                           
Bar                            test                                            
Baz                                                                            
Asdf                           blah
