spread operator and rest operator in javascript code example

Example 1: the rest operator javascript

function sum(...numbers) {
	return numbers.reduce((accumulator, current) => {
		return accumulator += current;
	});
};
 
sum(1,2) // 3
sum(1,2,3,4,5) // 15

Example 2: spread operator in javascript

// spread operators can be used for arrays or objects

// cloning to prevent mutation.
let numList = [1,2,3];
let numListClone = [...numList]; // [1, 2, 3]

// spread operator for destructuring.
let animal = {
  name: 'dog',
  color: 'brown',
  age: 7
};
let { age, ...otherProperties } = animal; 

// spread operator as rest operator
function sum(x, y, ...rest) {}

// spread operator for merging arrays or objects
let numLists = [...numList1, ...numList2];
let animalWithBreed = {
  ...animal,
  breed: '',
}

Example 3: spread and rest javascript

var myName = ["Marina" , "Magdy" , "Shafiq"] ;const [firstName , ...familyName] = myName ;console.log(firstName); // Marina ;console.log(familyName); // [ "Magdy" , "Shafiq"] ;

Example 4: array spread operator in javascript

let arr1 = ['A', 'B', 'C'];

let arr2 = ['X', 'Y', 'Z'];

let result = [...arr1, ...arr2];

console.log(result); // ['A', 'B', 'C', 'X', 'Y', 'Z']
// spread elements of the array instead of taking the array as a whole

Example 5: spread operator javascript

obj = {first_name : "Marty",
    lovers: ["Jennifer Parker","Baines McFly"]
      };
let objClone = { ...obj }; // pass all key:value pairs from an object 

console.log(objClone)
// { first_name: "Marty", lovers: ["Jennifer Parker", "Baines McFly"] }

Example 6: spread operator javascript

[a, b, ...objIteravel] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
