what does destructuring mean in javascript code example

Example 1: javascript object destructuring

//simple example with object------------------------------
let obj = {name: 'Max', age: 22, address: 'Delhi'};
const {name, age} = obj;

console.log(name);
//expected output: "Max"

console.log(age);
//expected output: 22

console.log(address);
//expected output: Uncaught ReferenceError: address is not defined

// simple example with array-------------------------------
let a, b, rest;
[a, b] = [10, 20];

console.log(a);
// expected output: 10

console.log(b);
// expected output: 20

[a, b, ...rest] = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50];

console.log(rest);
// expected output: Array [30,40,50]

Example 2: object destructuring into this

const demo = { nextUrl: 'nextUrl', posts: 'posts' };

const target = {}; // replace target with this

({ nextUrl: target.nextUrl, posts: target.communityPosts } = demo);

console.log(target);

Example 3: javascript function destructuring

function f() {
  return [1, 2];
}

let a, b; 
[a, b] = f(); 
console.log(a); // 1
console.log(b); // 2

Example 4: destructuring

var foo = ['one', 'two', 'three'];

// without destructuring
var one   = foo[0];
var two   = foo[1];
var three = foo[2];

// with destructuring
var [one, two, three] = foo;
