JavaScript select a portion of variables from object-CodePudding

here is by JS code:

var a = { depth: object_with_many_attributes.depth };

notice how depth appear twice, any standard way to rewrite by using depth just once?

CodePudding user response：

You can use Object Destructuring, but in that case, you need to define additional variables, like in an example

const object_with_many_attributes = { depth: 'xxx', 'somethingOther': 'qwerty'};

const { depth, somethingOther } = object_with_many_attributes;

const a = { depth, somethingOther };

CodePudding user response：

If depth must be used only once, you can destructure it with key:

// assignment
var object_with_many_attributes = { depth: 'foo', bar: 123 };

// destructure it:
var { 'depth' : a } = object_with_many_attributes;

console.log('object a:', { a }); // use as object later
