Yup, I've taken to doing this exact same thing in TS/JS. That is, defining functions to take an options object instead of multiple parameters.
It'd be much nicer if TS/JS could support named parameter binding, like many other lanaguages, cause that's what I do as a nearly universal rule, in every language that supports it.
No, having an IDE inject paramter names in the editor is not a solution. Not only does it always look like shit, because none of them have any concept of formatting for readability, it also means the code then becomes unreadable outside of an IDE (and user configuration) with that feature.
