Setting Default Function Arguments

Snippet

Setting Default Function Arguments

Default parameters allow named parameters to be initialized with default values if no value or undefined is passed. This is very useful in Next.js components for optional props that need a fallback value.

snippet.js
javascript
function getStatus(label = "Draft") {
  return "Status: " + label;
}
 
const result1 = getStatus("Published");
const result2 = getStatus();

nextjs

Breakdown

label = "Draft"

Assigns 'Draft' to the label variable if the function is called without an argument.
