JS Daily 11 - Named Arguments

Last updated on 1 Dec, 2020

What is the output of following code?

function xyz({name = "Rock", age = 20}) {
  console.log(name, age);
}
xyz({name: "Joe"});
----o----

Output is:

"Joe"
20

This is an example of providing named arguments to a function. This is achieved using object destructuring. The value of arguments are mapped from the passed object. If a property is not passed(age), the default value assigned is taken.
