ES6 Partial Object Destructuring Default Parameters In A Separated Object

Okay so there's a lot of similar questions here but none that actually address this. What if I want to save the default parameters of a function on a separated object, in a separated file and then I want the function to use this default parameters only if not specified when calling it?

Example:

export const defaultParameters = { a: "foo", b: "bar"}

And then in another file:

import {defaultParameters} from ./utils.js

myFunction = function(defaultParameters = {}){
   const {a, b} = defaultParameters;
   console.log(a,b);
}

What I want for it to do is that calling

myFunction({a: "hello"})

should print

"hello", "bar"

But that's not how that works and I'm trying to figure this out. Anyone knows how to achieve this?

You won't be able to do it directly in the parameter, but you can inside the function..

eg..

import {defaultParameters} from ./utils.js

myFunction = function(params = {}){
   const {a, b} = {...defaultParameters, ...params};
   console.log(a,b);
}
