Using named parameters JavaScript (based on typescript)

Question

I have problems, when using named parameter in TypeScript, I know it is not supportetd the way I use it in TS. But how can I

TypeScript:

SomeFunction(name1: boolean, name2: boolean, name3: boolean, name4: boolean) //will occur only 1 time, so the change should be in typescript 

JavaScript:

$(function () {      ...SomeFunction({name1:false, name2:false, name3:false, name4:true}); //will occur 100 times     }); 

I was looking at(this did not work out):

Named parameters in javascript

How can I add optional named parameters to a TypeScript function parameter?

What can I do in TypeScript, to use named parameters in JavaScript?

What I wonder is, that VS2015 did not show a syntax error when using named parameter the way I used it in TypeScript ...

ps.: I use TS 2.1

True named parameters don't exist in JavaScript nor in TypeScript but you can use destructuring to simulate named parameters:

interface Names {     name1: boolean     name2: boolean     name3: boolean     name4: boolean }  function myFunction({name1, name2, name3, name4}: Names) {     // name1, etc. are boolean } 

Notice: The type Names is actually optional. The following JavaScript code (without typing) is valid in TS:

function myFunction({name1, name2, name3, name4}) {     // name1, etc. are of type any }
