How to pass the value 'undefined' to a function with multiple parameters?

Question

I want to pass the value of \'undefined\' on a multiple parameter function but without omitting the parameter.

What do I mean with \"without omitting the paramet

Answer 1

Just to give an examples on what @dbrin was explaining, and @alphapilgrim might have wished to check.

simpleFunction({params1:12, params2:"abc"}); //use expected arguments
simpleFunction({params2:"abc"}); //use only one
simpleFunction({params2:"abc", params1:12, iDoNotExist:"I will not be included"}); //use expected arguments in any order
simpleFunction(); //ignore arguments and uses defaults
simpleFunction(2123); //ignores non object arguments 

function simpleFunction(someParams){
  var myParams = {
    params1:null,
    params2:"cde" //default value for second parameter
  };
  simpleExtend(myParams, someParams);
  
  console.log(myParams);

}


//to include in your utilities
function simpleExtend(currentParams, newParams){
  
  if(typeof currentParams !== "undefined" && typeof newParams !== "undefined"){
    Object.keys(newParams).forEach(function(key){
   
      if(typeof currentParams[key] !== "undefined"){
        currentParams[key] = newParams[key];    
      }

    });
 
  
  }
  
 

}
