unicorn/no-object-as-default-parameter Pedantic

What it does

Disallow the use of an object literal as a default value for a parameter.

Why is this bad?

Default parameters should not be passed to a function through an object literal. The foo = {a: false} parameter works fine if only used with one option. As soon as additional options are added, you risk replacing the whole foo = {a: false, b: true} object when passing only one option: {a: true}. For this reason, object destructuring should be used instead.

Example

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

javascript
function foo(foo = { a: false }) {}

Examples of correct code for this rule:

javascript
function foo({ a = false } = {}) {}
