  • TypeScript functions can become cumbersome with multiple optional arguments.
  • Python's keyword arguments (kwargs) provide clarity by naming arguments.
  • TypeScript can mimic Python's kwargs using objects with optional properties.
  • This approach improves readability and maintains type safety.
  • Default values in the function handle undefined properties in the options object.
  • Changing option keys in the function's API is a breaking change.
  • Typed option bags are a useful pattern for functions with multiple optional arguments.
