What is defaults?

The `defaults` npm package is primarily used for merging a set of default properties with user-provided options. It is particularly useful in situations where you want to ensure that an object contains a certain set of properties with default values, even if some of those properties are not provided by the user. This can be very handy in configuration objects for libraries, APIs, or any other modular pieces of code that require a predictable structure of input options.

What are defaults's main functionalities?

Merging default options with user options

This feature allows the merging of a user-provided options object with a default options object. If the user provides a value for a given property, that value is used; otherwise, the default value is applied. This is particularly useful for configuring applications or modules where certain parameters are optional but should have a defined default behavior.

{"const defaults = require('defaults');\nconst userOptions = { color: 'blue' };\nconst defaultOptions = { color: 'red', size: 'large' };\nconst options = defaults(userOptions, defaultOptions);\nconsole.log(options); // Output: { color: 'blue', size: 'large' }"}
