Goed idee!

At what point / amount of parameters would you say its better to switch to an object parameter? I'm thinking of starting it at 3 or 4, I'm pretty sure most functions use about 1-2 parameters unless a function is very state dependent.

[philipsens]

method(options: {option1: string }): void {
// example
}

method(options: methodOptions): void {
// example
}

[philipsens]

This should be done with 3 or more parameters

Edit:

We chose to convert from 4

This means that you could also have options as second parameter. When transforming an object it could be nice to have:

compare(object, object, {option: true})

Add max param rule to eslint config
