function Add-BMObjectParameter { <# .SYNOPSIS Adds an object to a parameter hashtable based on the object's type. .DESCRIPTION The `Add-BMObjectParameter` adds a parameter to a parameter hashtable based on the parameter's type. Many of BuildMaster's APIs take an ID or a name. For example, many of the Release and Package Deployment methods accept either an `applicationId` parameter *or* an `applicationName` parameter. This function takes either application object, an application ID, or an application name, figures out what was passed, and adds the correct `applicationId`, or `applicationName` parameter. The hashtable is passed to the `Parameter` parameter (or you can pipe it to `Add-BMObjectParameter` function). Use the `PassThru` switch to return the hashtable to the pipeline. Pass the name of the parameter, without the `Id` or `Name` suffix via the `Name` parameter, e.g. `pipeline`, `application`, `release`, etc. Pass the value of the parameter to the `Value` parameter. This can be an object, an integer, or a string. If you pass an integer, a parameter with the name `$($Name)Id` is added to the hashtable. If you pass a string, a parameter with the name `$($Name)Name` is added. If you pass an object, `Add-BMObjectParameter` looks for `id`, `$($Name)_Id`, `name`, or `$($Name)_Name` properties on it (in that order) and adds an `$($Name)Id` parameter if it finds an ID property or a `$($Name)Name` parameter if it finds an Name property. .EXAMPLE $parameters | Add-BMObjectParameter -Name 'application' -Value $app Demonstrates how to add an ID or Name parameter `$parameters` hashtable. In this case, `Add-BMObjectParameter` will check if `$app` is an integer. If it is, it will add an `applicationId` parameter to the `$parameters` hashtable. If `$app` is a string, it will add an `applicationName` parameter. If `$app` is an object, `Add-BMObjectParameter` will look for an `Application_Id` or `id` property. If it finds one, it adds an `applicationId` parameter to `$parameters`. If it doesn't, it looks for an `Application_Name` or `name` property. If it finds one, it adds an `applicationName` parameter to `$parameters`. Otherwise, it will write an error and not add anything. .EXAMPLE $parameter | Add-BMObjectParmaeter -Name 'application -Value $app -PassThru | Add-BMObjectParameter -Name 'pipeline' -Value $pipeline Demonstrates how you can use the `PassThru` switch to add multiple parameters to a parameters hashtable. #> [CmdletBinding()] param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true,ValueFromPipeline=$true)] [hashtable] # The hashtable to add the parameter to. $Parameter, [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string] # The name of the parameter, *without* the `Id` or `Name` suffix.
