乡亲们-

在研究了这些和其他解决方案之后，我使用最初来自W3Schools的一段代码作为基础，尝试了许多解决方案。你可以在下面找到有效的方法。每一个被注释掉的项目也都有效，这样您就可以通过删除单个注释来进行实验。要清楚的是，“eyecolor”参数没有被定义。

function person(firstname, lastname, age, eyecolor)
{
this.firstname = firstname;
this.lastname = lastname;
this.age = age;
this.eyecolor = eyecolor;
// if(null==eyecolor)
//   this.eyecolor = "unknown1";
//if(typeof(eyecolor)==='undefined') 
//   this.eyecolor = "unknown2";
// if(!eyecolor)
//   this.eyecolor = "unknown3";
this.eyecolor = this.eyecolor || "unknown4";
}

var myFather = new person("John", "Doe", 60);
var myMother = new person("Sally", "Rally", 48, "green");

var elem = document.getElementById("demo");
elem.innerHTML = "My father " +
              myFather.firstname + " " +
              myFather.lastname + " is " +
              myFather.age + " with " +
              myFather.eyecolor + " eyes.<br/>" +
              "My mother " +
              myMother.firstname + " " +
              myMother.lastname + " is " +
              myMother.age + " with " +
              myMother.eyecolor + " eyes."; 

这就是我的结局：

function WhoLikesCake(options) {
  options = options || {};
  var defaultOptions = {
    a : options.a || "Huh?",
    b : options.b || "I don't like cake."
  }
  console.log('a: ' + defaultOptions.b + ' - b: ' + defaultOptions.b);

  // Do more stuff here ...
}

这样调用：

WhoLikesCake({ b : "I do" });

我尝试了这里提到的一些选项，并对它们进行了性能测试。此时此刻，逻辑学家似乎是最快的。尽管这会随着时间的推移而改变（不同的JavaScript引擎版本）。

以下是我的结果（Microsoft Edge 20.10240.16384.0）：

Function executed            Operations/sec     Statistics

此性能测试可在以下位置轻松复制：http://jsperf.com/optional-parameters-typeof-vs-switch/2

这是测试代码：

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
    Benchmark.prototype.setup = function() {
        function TypeofFunction(param1, optParam1, optParam2, optParam3) {
            optParam1 = (typeof optParam1 === "undefined") ? "Some default" : optParam1;
            optParam2 = (typeof optParam2 === "undefined") ? "Another default" : optParam2;
            optParam3 = (typeof optParam3 === "undefined") ? "Some other default" : optParam3;
        }

        function TypeofFunction2(param1, optParam1, optParam2, optParam3) {
            optParam1 = defaultValue(optParam1, "Some default");
            optParam2 = defaultValue(optParam2, "Another default");
            optParam3 = defaultValue(optParam3, "Some other default");
        }

        function defaultValue(variable, defaultValue) {
            return (typeof variable !== 'undefined') ? (variable) : (defaultValue);
        }

        function SwitchFuntion(param1, optParam1, optParam2, optParam3) {
            switch (arguments.length - 1) { // <-- 1 is number of required arguments
                case 0:
                    optParam1 = 'Some default';
                case 1:
                    optParam2 = 'Another default';
                case 2:
                    optParam3 = 'Some other default';
            }
        }

        function ObjectFunction(args) {
            var defaults = {
                optParam1: 'Some default',
                optParam2: 'Another default',
                optParam3: 'Some other default'
            }
            args = $.extend({}, defaults, args);
        }

        function LogicalOrFunction(param1, optParam1, optParam2, optParam3) {
            optParam1 || (optParam1 = 'Some default');
            optParam2 || (optParam1 = 'Another default');
            optParam3 || (optParam1 = 'Some other default');
        }
    };
</script>

如果传递了optionalArg，但计算结果为false，则逻辑将失败-请尝试此选项

if (typeof optionalArg === 'undefined') { optionalArg = 'default'; }

或者另一个成语：

optionalArg = (typeof optionalArg === 'undefined') ? 'default' : optionalArg;

使用哪种成语最能传达你的意图！

function Default(variable, new_value)
{
    if(new_value === undefined) { return (variable === undefined) ? null : variable; }
    return (variable === undefined) ? new_value : variable;
}

var a = 2, b = "hello", c = true, d;

var test = Default(a, 0),
test2 = Default(b, "Hi"),
test3 = Default(c, false),
test4 = Default(d, "Hello world");

window.alert(test + "\n" + test2 + "\n" + test3 + "\n" + test4);

如果需要插入一个NULL，那么可能会遇到一些问题。除此之外，不，我认为你可能走上了正确的轨道。

有些人选择的另一种方法是使用一个变量的assoc数组在参数列表中迭代。它看起来有点整洁，但我想它有点（非常少）更需要处理/内存。

function myFunction (argArray) {
    var defaults = {
        'arg1'  :   "value 1",
        'arg2'  :   "value 2",
        'arg3'  :   "value 3",
        'arg4'  :   "value 4"
    }

    for(var i in defaults) 
        if(typeof argArray[i] == "undefined") 
               argArray[i] = defaults[i];

    // ...
}
