TIL Deconstructing Objects

POSTED ON:

TAGS:

Rather than create a big list of parameters in your function, pass the whole object and deconstruct it.

function getItem(args) {
const {price, quantity, name, type} = args;
const total = price * quantity;

return `For the ${type} ${name}: you're getting ${quantity} ${name} at $${price} each. Final price is $${total}`
}

const buyingBananas = getItem({
name: 'bananas',
price: 10,
quantity: 1,
type: 'fruit'
});

console.log(buyingBananas);
