Basic Destructuring
Destructuring is a feature of ES6 that lets you extract variables from larger json objects
const viewState = {
latitude: -122.4,
longitude: 37.78,
zoom: 12
}
// Grab latitude and longitude from the viewState json object
const { latitude, longitude } = viewState;
console.log(latitude) // -122.4
console.log(longitude) // 37.78
Destructure and rename
// Grab latitude and longitude.
// Rename them to lat and long, respectively
const { latitude:lat, longitude:long } = viewState;
console.log(lat) // -122.4
console.log(lon) // 37.78
Destructure props passed to a React component
// sample props
{
title: 'My Article Title',
subTitle: 'A story of Destructuring'
}
// Without destructuring
const SimpleTitle = (props) => <h1>{props.title}</h1>
// With destructuring
const SimpleTitle = ({title}) => <h1>{title}</h1>
