Destructuring Objects

Destructuring is a convenient way to extract properties from objects into variables.

Basic syntax:

let person = {
  name: 'Bob',
  age: 25
};

let { name, age } = person;

// Is equivalent to
let name = person.name; // 'Bob'
let age = person.age;   // 25

Destructuring and renaming:

let person = {
  name: 'Bob',
  age: 25
};

let { name: firstName } = person;

// Is equivalent to
let firstName = person.name; // 'Bob'

Destructuring with default values:

let person = {
  name: 'Bob',
  age: 25
};

let { phone = '123-456-789' } = person;

// Is equivalent to
let phone = person.hasOwnProperty('phone') ? person.phone : '123-456-789'; // '123-456-789'

Destructuring and renaming with default values

let person = {
  name: 'Bob',
  age: 25
};

let { phone: p = '123-456-789' } = person;

// Is equivalent to
let p = person.hasOwnProperty('phone') ? person.phone : '123-456-789'; // '123-456-789'
