Destructuring allows binding using pattern matching, with support for matching arrays and objects. Destructuring is fail-soft, similar to standard object lookup foo["bar"], producing undefined values when not found.
// list matching
var [a, ,b] = [1,2,3];
a === 1;
b === 3;
// object matching
var { op: a, lhs: { op: b }, rhs: c }
= getASTNode()
// object matching shorthand
// binds `op`, `lhs` and `rhs` in scope
var {op, lhs, rhs} = getASTNode()
// Can be used in parameter position
function g({name: x}) {
console.log(x);
}
g({name: 5})
// Fail-soft destructuring
var [a] = [];
a === undefined;
// Fail-soft destructuring with defaults
var [a = 1] = [];
a === 1;
// Destructuring + defaults arguments
function r({x, y, w = 10, h = 10}) {
return x + y + w + h;
}
r({x:1, y:2}) === 23
Default + Rest + Spread
Callee-evaluated default parameter values. Turn an array into consecutive arguments in a function call. Bind trailing parameters to an array. Rest replaces the need for arguments and addresses common cases more directly.
function f(x, y=12) {
// y is 12 if not passed (or passed as undefined)
return x + y;
}
f(3) == 15
function f(x, ...y) {
// y is an Array
return x * y.length;
}
f(3, "hello", true) == 6
function f(x, y, z) {
return x + y + z;
}
// Pass each elem of array as argument
f(...[1,2,3]) == 6
