es6-default-params

Compiles JavaScript written using ES6 default function parameters to use ES5-compatible function syntax. For example, this:

function add(x=0, y=0) {
  return x + y;
}

compiles to this:

function add() {
  var x = (arguments[0] !== void 0 ? arguments[0] : 0);
  var y = (arguments[1] !== void 0 ? arguments[1] : 0);
  return x + y;
}

This project is part of esnext, a project to compile the syntax of the next version of JavaScript to today's JavaScript environments.

For more information about the proposed syntax, see the wiki page on default params.
