defaultParam

caution

Internal function, not intended to be used outside.

Provide default parameter for passed in function and allows default parameters be overridden when the function was actually passed with same parameters. would only work on functions that have only one object style parameter.

const fn1 = (params: { a?: number; b?: number }) => {
const { a = 0, b = 0 } = params;
return a + b;
};
const fn2 = defaultParam(fn1, { b: 10 });

digest auth and custom auth

for digest auth, you need to handle the auth process yourself, pass the final digest string like

username="Mufasa",
realm="testrealm@host.com",
nonce="dcd98b7102dd2f0e8b11d0f600bfb0c093",
uri="/dir/index.html",
qop=auth,
nc=00000001,
cnonce="0a4f113b",
response="6629fae49393a05397450978507c4ef1",
opaque="5ccc069c403ebaf9f0171e9517f40e41

as digestString param in DAVCredentials

for custom auth, you can pass additional data via customData prop to DAVCredentials, you can pass in your custom auth function as authFunction param and will have DAVCredentials available to it.
