I had the need to assign the result of a function call to a variable already defined. The function returned an object:
function test() {
return {
one: 1,
two: 2
}
}
I thought I’ll just use object destructing, like this:
const { one, two } = test()
But I had two already defined in my code (because of scoping issues) and I couldn’t redeclare it:
let two
//...
const { one, two } = test() //ERROR
Simple way would be to have
const result = test()
two = result.two
const { one } = result
Or, I could also declare one as let and use this syntax with parentheses (adding ; before them to prevent JS to freak out because I don’t use semicolons, any line starting with ( must start with a semicolon, simple rule)
let one, two
;({ one, two } = test())
