ES6 Defaults / Overrides Pattern

Combine default parameters and destructuring for a compact version of the defaults / overrides pattern.

function foo ({ bar = 'no', baz = 'works!' }) {
  return(`${bar}, ${baz}`);
}

console.log(foo({
  bar: 'yay'
})); // logs 'yay, works!'

Equivalent to ES5:

This bit needs to be polyfilled, Or use $.extend(), _.extend(), lodash/object/assign aka _.assign() or equivalent.

var assign = Object.assign;

var defaults2 = {
    bar: 'no',
    baz: 'works!'
  };

function foo2 (options) {
  var settings = assign({}, defaults2, options),
    bar = settings.bar,
    baz = settings.baz;

  return(bar + ', ' +baz);
}

console.log(foo2({
  bar: 'yay'
})); // logs 'yay, works!'
