EDIT: Due to comments regarding const options - the problem with using constant options in the rest of the function is actually not that you can't do that, is just that you can't use the constant variable in its own declaration - you would have to adjust the input naming to something like
function test(input_options){
const options = {
// defaults
someKey: 'someDefaultValue',
anotherKey: 'anotherDefaultValue',
// merge-in input options
...input_options
};
// from now on use options with no problem
}

In future, you will be able to "spread" one object to another (currently as of 2019 NOT supported by Edge!) - demonstration how to use that for nice default options regardless of order:
function test(options) {
var options = {
// defaults
url: 'defaultURL',
some: 'somethingDefault',
// override with input options
...options
};
var body = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
body.innerHTML += '<br>' + options.url + ' : ' + options.some;
}
test();
test({});
test({url:'myURL'});
test({some:'somethingOfMine'});
test({url:'overrideURL', some:'andSomething'});
test({url:'overrideURL', some:'andSomething', extra:'noProblem'});MDN reference: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Spread_syntax
...meanwhile what Edge DOES support is Object.assign() (IE does not, but I really hope we can leave IE behind :) )
Similarly you could do
function test(options) {
var options = Object.assign({
// defaults
url: 'defaultURL',
some: 'somethingDefault',
}, options); // override with input options
var body = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
body.innerHTML += '<br>' + options.url + ' : ' + options.some;
}
test();
test({});
test({url:'myURL'});
test({some:'somethingOfMine'});
test({url:'overrideURL', some:'andSomething'});
test({url:'overrideURL', some:'andSomething', extra:'noProblem'});
