How to get a map of all series "type" names to parameters for HighCharts technical indicator series?

Question

In highcharts stock charts, different series types have different parameters for example the paramaters for macd can be seen here: https://api.highcharts.com/highstock/series.macd.params

I would like to be able to get a map of type names, like "macd" or "sm", to parameters. Preferably an example using the typescript version of Highstock, or even better if it was in angular-highcharts. For example:

{
  "sm" => ["index" : 1 , "period": 2],
  "macd" => ["index": 11, "longperiod":12 , "period":23, "shortperiod":22],
  .
  .
  .
}

Edit:

To clarify, how would I create an object with the default params across all indicators as shown for MACD here on line 97: https://github.com/highcharts/highcharts/blob/9b3c23b50892f96487593fd7e553d9432e60f635/ts/Stock/Indicators/MACD/MACDIndicator.ts#L97

I would like to get the params before adding the series to the chart if possible.

This is a path to find params options for MACD indicator chart.series[2].options.params. Another indicators can be show as a series linkedto bind to the series.

Any way to get the params without creating the series? Thank you for your response. – user1689987 Dec 05 '22 at 18:59
In Highstock, all technical indicators are new series types; technical indicators are connected to the main series by the [linkedTo](https://api.highcharts.com/highstock/plotOptions.series.linkedTo) option. – Sebastian Hajdus Dec 06 '22 at 10:10

The params for each type are available through the Highcharts.Series.types variable:

import * as Highcharts from "highcharts/highstock";
import HC_exporting from 'highcharts/modules/exporting';
HC_exporting(Highcharts);
import {Dictionary, PlotMacdOptions, Series, SeriesOptions} from 
   "highcharts";
import IndicatorsAll from "highcharts/indicators/indicators-all";
IndicatorsAll(Highcharts);

const seriesType = "macd";
const types: any= Highcharts.Series.types;
console.log( types[seriesType].defaultOptions.params);
