+# enforce default parameters to be last (default-param-last)
+
+Putting default parameter at last allowes function calls to omit optional tail arguments.
+
+## Rule Details
+
+This rule enforces default parameters to be the last of paramters.
+
+Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:
+
+```js
+/* eslint default-param-last: ["error"] */
+
+function f(a = 0, b) {}
+
+function f(a, b = 0, c) {}
+```
+
+Examples of **correct** code for this rule:
+
+```js
+/* eslint default-param-last: ["error"] */
+
+function f(a, b = 0) {}
+```
