Allow null Value for cChocoPackageInstaller Params Argument

[warsus]

I have a package where i may or may not need to add parameters depending on the desired configuration more or less dynamically. Now if i don't need any parameter (it might be $null or an empty string) i have to omit the Params parameter completely, since its not allowed to be null or empty. So a possible solution would be this (maybe there's something better that i'm missing).

   if($package.params) {
            cChocoPackageInstaller myPackage
            {
                Name = $package.Name
                Params = $package.Params
            }
    } else { //here $package.Params would be an empty string or null
            cChocoPackageInstaller myPackage
            {
                Name = $package.Name
            }
    }

I would like it if i can put a null or empty value into the Params argument of cChocoPackageInstall So the above would simplify naturally to:

            cChocoPackageInstaller myPackage
            {
                Name = $package.Name
                Params = $package.Params
            }

Using null or empty parameters isn't really a PowerShell way of doing things. My suggestion would be to check the value of the parameter and then using the cChocoPackageInstaller block with the correct parameters depending on the situation.

I don't agree with the sentiment about null and empty parameters and i think the resulting duplication of code is unnecessary, but i think i can deal with it. Thanks for the feedback!

Write-Host $null ;-)
