Is there a way to provide named parameters in a function call in JavaScript?

Question

I find the named parameters feature in C# quite useful in some cases.

calculateBMI(70, height: 175);

What can I use if I want this in JavaS

Answer 1

Trying Node-6.4.0 ( process.versions.v8 = '5.0.71.60') and Node Chakracore-v7.0.0-pre8 and then Chrome-52 (V8=5.2.361.49), I've noticed that named parameters are almost implemented, but that order has still precedence. I can't find what the ECMA standard says.

>function f(a=1, b=2){ console.log(`a=${a} + b=${b} = ${a+b}`) }

> f()
a=1 + b=2 = 3
> f(a=5)
a=5 + b=2 = 7
> f(a=7, b=10)
a=7 + b=10 = 17

But order is required!! Is it the standard behaviour?

> f(b=10)
a=10 + b=2 = 12
