destructuring with default value code example

Example 1: Destructuring Assignment

const HIGH_TEMPERATURES = {
  yesterday: 75,
  today: 77,
  tomorrow: 80
};

//ES6 assignment syntax
const {today, tomorrow} = HIGH_TEMPERATURES;

//ES5 assignment syntax
const today = HIGH_TEMPERATURES.today;
const tomorrow = HIGH_TEMPERATURES.tomorrow;

console.log(today); // 77
console.log(tomorrow); // 80
console.log(yesterday); // "ReferenceError: yesterday is not defined" as it should be.

Example 2: js object destructuring with defaults

// Taken from top stack overflow answer

const { dogName = 'snickers' } = { dogName: undefined }
console.log(dogName) // what will it be? 'snickers'!

const { dogName = 'snickers' } = { dogName: null }
console.log(dogName) // what will it be? null!

const { dogName = 'snickers' } = { dogName: false }
console.log(dogName) // what will it be? false!

const { dogName = 'snickers' } = { dogName: 0 }
console.log(dogName) // what will it be? 0!

Example 3: object destructuring default value

let a, b;

[a=5, b=7] = [1];
console.log(a); // 1
console.log(b); // 7
