requestPairingCode() cannot have function default parameters.

[wis-dev]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues.

Is this a problem caused by your code, or is it specifically because of the library?

• I have double-checked my code carefully.

Describe the bug.

After build my node.js app with tsc, when trying to start the server running node dist/src/index.js, the following error is throw:

node_modules/whatsapp-web.js/index.d.ts:127:49 - error TS2371: A parameter initializer is only allowed in a function or constructor implementation.
requestPairingCode(phoneNumber: string, showNotification = true): Promise<string>

Code ref.:
https://github.com/pedroslopez/whatsapp-web.js/blob/main/index.d.ts#L127

Expected Behavior

requestPairingCode method shoud be correcly declared.
Because abstract functions cannot have function default parameters.

✅ Correct way:
requestPairingCode(phoneNumber: string, showNotification: boolean): Promise<string>

❌ Incorrect way:
requestPairingCode(phoneNumber: string, showNotification = true): Promise<string>
