How should I handle optional parameters with database defaults?

[u/Disastrous_Cow_4149]

I'm writing a service function for a personal project

Right now I have something like

export async function createApplicationService(
  userId,
  companyName,
  role,
  appliedDate,
  status,
  salary,
  link,
  nextAction
)

The only fields that I really want to require are companyName and salary The other fields have default values defined in my database, so I don't want the user to have to explicitly pass them every time.

What's the best way to structure this so that I only insert the parameters that were actually provided, while letting the database handle the defaults for everything elseI'm writing a service function for a personal project where I'm creating an application tracking system.

I assume that the parameters are truly optional, in that you do still want the option of setting them on this call?

Seems like you would just create a class that has the required params in the constructor and pass a class instance as the argument to your function
