Javascript class, initialize with object & optional values

I have a few questions regarding the code below:

export class Person {
    constructor(obj = { id: 0, name: '', lastName: '', eyeColor: '', age: 0 }) {
        this.id = obj.id;
        this.name = obj.name;
        this.lastName = obj.lastName;
        this.eyeColor = obj.eyeColor;
        this.age = obj.age;
    }

    yearOfBirth() {
        return new Date().getFullYear() - this.age;
    }

    json() {
        return JSON.stringify(this);
    }
}

FWIW: I prefer to create an object using this syntax:

let newPerson = new Person(
  { 
    id: 0, 
    name: "Werner", 
    lastName: "Venter", 
    age: 37
  }
);

I really dislike this way:

let newPerson = new Person(0, "Werner", "Venter", 37);

It just reads easier for me when I have the parameter name with the value. Anyway, I digress…

1. Is this the correct/accepted way to create an object class? I will be using it to receive data from an API that sends it in this format as JSON.
2. How do I make a parameter optional? Mainly why I need this is that the ID value is not required when creating a new entry on the API, so I would prefer not to include the ID value when creating the object.
3. Finally, do you have any opinion/advice on this approach?

Thank you in advance guys. Really appreciate this community.
