- A regular function can have duplicate parameters except in strict mode
or if its parameter list is not "simple" (has a default or rest
parameter)
- An arrow function can never have duplicate parameters
Compared to other engines I opted for more useful syntax error messages
than a generic "duplicate parameter name not allowed in this context":
"use strict"; function test(foo, foo) {}
^
Uncaught exception: [SyntaxError]: Duplicate parameter 'foo' not allowed in strict mode (line: 1, column: 34)
function test(foo, foo = 1) {}
^
Uncaught exception: [SyntaxError]: Duplicate parameter 'foo' not allowed in function with default parameter (line: 1, column: 20)
function test(foo, ...foo) {}
^
Uncaught exception: [SyntaxError]: Duplicate parameter 'foo' not allowed in function with rest parameter (line: 1, column: 23)
(foo, foo) => {}
^
Uncaught exception: [SyntaxError]: Duplicate parameter 'foo' not allowed in arrow function (line: 1, column: 7)
