Creating variables for destructured objects in addition to their properties

Question

I have:

const { state: { mode } } = this

console.log(mode) //\'mode\'
console.log(state) //undefined

I want to declare the state

Answer 1

Sure, just use a comma as if you were destructing another property of the parent object:

const obj = { state: { mode: 'str' }};
const { state: { mode }, state } = obj;
console.log(mode);
console.log(state);

Note that this looks very similar to, but is not the same as the following import syntax you may have seen:

import React, { Component } from 'react'

Here, the variables in brackets are named exports, while the plain variable is the default export, which is entirely different from nested objects.
