Is it possible to destructure onto an existing object? (Javascript ES6)

Question

For example if I have two objects:

var foo = {
  x: \"bar\",
  y: \"baz\"
}

and

var oof = {}

and I want

I came up with this method:

exports.pick = function pick(src, props, dest={}) {
    return Object.keys(props).reduce((d,p) => {
        if(typeof props[p] === 'string') {
            d[props[p]] = src[p];
        } else if(props[p]) {
            d[p] = src[p];
        }
        return d;
    },dest);
};

Which you can use like this:

let cbEvents = util.pick(this.props.events, {onFocus:1,onBlur:1,onCheck:'onChange'});
let wrapEvents = util.pick(this.props.events, {onMouseEnter:1,onMouseLeave:1});

i.e., you can pick which properties you want out and put them into a new object. Unlike _.pick you can also rename them at the same time.

If you want to copy the props onto an existing object, just set the dest arg.
