最好的方法取决于函数和参数。你的每个选择在不同的情况下都是一个好主意。我通常按照以下顺序尝试这些方法，直到其中一个有效为止:

Using optional arguments like y = y || 'default'. This is convenient if you can do it, but it may not always work practically, e.g. when 0/null/undefined would be a valid argument. Using number of arguments. Similar to the last option but may work when #1 doesn't work. Checking types of arguments. This can work in some cases where the number of arguments is the same. If you can't reliably determine the types, you may need to use different names. Using different names in the first place. You may need to do this if the other options won't work, aren't practical, or for consistency with other related functions.

Typescript手册提到了重载。虽然前面已经提到过检查类型和根据结果执行不同的逻辑，但这种定义多个命名函数来使用类型系统的方法可能会让读者感兴趣。下面是TypeScript如何实现创建一个接受多种类型参数的函数，这些参数将指导函数逻辑根据传入的参数和类型做不同的事情:

答案是为同一个函数提供多个函数类型作为重载列表。这个列表是编译器用来解析函数调用的。让我们创建一个重载列表，用来描述pickCard接收和返回的内容。

let suits = ["hearts", "spades", "clubs", "diamonds"];

function pickCard(x: { suit: string; card: number }[]): number;
function pickCard(x: number): { suit: string; card: number };
function pickCard(x: any): any {
  // Check to see if we're working with an object/array
  // if so, they gave us the deck and we'll pick the card
  if (typeof x == "object") {
    let pickedCard = Math.floor(Math.random() * x.length);
    return pickedCard;
  }
  // Otherwise just let them pick the card
  else if (typeof x == "number") {
    let pickedSuit = Math.floor(x / 13);
    return { suit: suits[pickedSuit], card: x % 13 };
  }
}

let myDeck = [
  { suit: "diamonds", card: 2 },
  { suit: "spades", card: 10 },
  { suit: "hearts", card: 4 },
];

let pickedCard1 = myDeck[pickCard(myDeck)];
alert("card: " + pickedCard1.card + " of " + pickedCard1.suit);

let pickedCard2 = pickCard(15);
alert("card: " + pickedCard2.card + " of " + pickedCard2.suit);

有了这个更改，重载现在为我们提供了对pickCard函数的类型检查调用。

为了让编译器选择正确的类型检查，它遵循与底层JavaScript类似的过程。它查看重载列表，然后继续执行第一个重载，尝试使用提供的参数调用函数。如果找到匹配项，则选择此重载作为正确的重载。出于这个原因，通常按照最特定到最不特定的顺序对重载进行排序。

注意，函数pickCard(x):任何块都不是重载列表的一部分，因此它只有两个重载:一个接受对象，另一个接受数字。用任何其他参数类型调用pickCard都会导致错误。

我不确定最佳实践，但我是这样做的:

/*
 * Object Constructor
 */
var foo = function(x) {
    this.x = x;
};

/*
 * Object Protoype
 */
foo.prototype = {
    /*
     * f is the name that is going to be used to call the various overloaded versions
     */
    f: function() {

        /*
         * Save 'this' in order to use it inside the overloaded functions
         * because there 'this' has a different meaning.
         */   
        var that = this;  

        /* 
         * Define three overloaded functions
         */
        var f1 = function(arg1) {
            console.log("f1 called with " + arg1);
            return arg1 + that.x;
        }

        var f2 = function(arg1, arg2) {
             console.log("f2 called with " + arg1 + " and " + arg2);
             return arg1 + arg2 + that.x;
        }

        var f3 = function(arg1) {
             console.log("f3 called with [" + arg1[0] + ", " + arg1[1] + "]");
             return arg1[0] + arg1[1];
        }

        /*
         * Use the arguments array-like object to decide which function to execute when calling f(...)
         */
        if (arguments.length === 1 && !Array.isArray(arguments[0])) {
            return f1(arguments[0]);
        } else if (arguments.length === 2) {
            return f2(arguments[0], arguments[1]);
        } else if (arguments.length === 1 && Array.isArray(arguments[0])) {
            return f3(arguments[0]);
        }
    } 
}

/* 
 * Instantiate an object
 */
var obj = new foo("z");

/*
 * Call the overloaded functions using f(...)
 */
console.log(obj.f("x"));         // executes f1, returns "xz"
console.log(obj.f("x", "y"));    // executes f2, returns "xyz"
console.log(obj.f(["x", "y"]));  // executes f3, returns "xy"

因为这篇文章已经包含了很多不同的解决方案，所以我想再发一个。

function onlyUnique(value, index, self) {
    return self.indexOf(value) === index;
}

function overload() {
   var functions = arguments;
   var nroffunctionsarguments = [arguments.length];
    for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) {
        nroffunctionsarguments[i] = arguments[i].length;
    }
    var unique = nroffunctionsarguments.filter(onlyUnique);
    if (unique.length === arguments.length) {
        return function () {
            var indexoffunction = nroffunctionsarguments.indexOf(arguments.length);
            return functions[indexoffunction].apply(this, arguments);
        }
    }
    else throw new TypeError("There are multiple functions with the same number of parameters");

}

这可以使用如下所示:

var createVector = overload(
        function (length) {
            return { x: length / 1.414, y: length / 1.414 };
        },
        function (a, b) {
            return { x: a, y: b };
        },
        function (a, b,c) {
            return { x: a, y: b, z:c};
        }
    );
console.log(createVector(3, 4));
console.log(createVector(3, 4,5));
console.log(createVector(7.07));

这个解决方案不是完美的，但我只想演示它是如何做到的。

JavaScript中没有真正的函数重载，因为它允许传递任意数量的任意类型的参数。你必须检查函数内部传递了多少参数以及它们的类型。

我想分享一个类似重载方法的有用示例。

function Clear(control)
{
  var o = typeof control !== "undefined" ? control : document.body;
  var children = o.childNodes;
  while (o.childNodes.length > 0)
    o.removeChild(o.firstChild);
}

用法: 明确的();//清除所有文件

明确(myDiv);//清除myDiv引用的面板
