Declaring parameters and combining them

PowerShell Help
1

Hello
I just started to play around HTML outputs in Powershell and when i read those cmdlets and parameters, my eyes are bleeding as yours will be. My point is that there are some parameters to combine some parameters but i couldn’t figure out how. I think that i shouldn’t declare parameters for every case.
Ps: and Yes, i copied some cmdlets from here but i am just learner.

Try being a little clearer on what exactly is or is not working, but are you referring to setting the same parameters over and over again? The splatting of parameters is using hash tables, so you can look at managing hash tables to .Add parameters, .Remove parameters or Setting (.Set_Item) on a parameter to leverage a one parameter set and manipulate it.

#Define original params
$params = @{
    'As'='Table';
    'PreContent'='SERVIS LOGS';
    'MakeTableDynamic'=$true;
    'TableCssClass'='grid';
    'Properties'='Displayname','Name',@{n='Service Status';e={$_.Status};css={if ($_.Status -eq "Stopped") { 'red' } else {'green'}}}
}

'First parameter...'
$params.Get_Item('PreContent')

'Update the PreContent key...'
$params.Set_Item('PreContent', 'Next Header')

'Second parameter...'
$params.Get_Item('PreContent')

Output:

PS C:\Users\rasim\Desktop> C:\Users\rasim\Desktop\test.ps1
First parameter...
SERVIS LOGS
Update the PreContent key...
Second parameter...
Next Header
