How one can write a function, which takes only few attributes in most-compact way in ES6?
I've came up with solution using destructuring + simplified object literal, but I don't like that list of fields is repeated in the code.
Is there an even slimmer solution?
(v) => {
let { id, title } = v;
return { id, title };
}
Here's something slimmer, although it doesn't avoid repeating the list of fields. It uses parameter destructuring to avoid the need for the v parameter.
({id, title}) => ({id, title})
(See a runnable example in this other answer).
@EthanBrown's solution is more general. Here is a more idiomatic version of it which uses Object.assign, and computed properties (the [p] part):
function pick(o, ...props) {
return Object.assign({}, ...props.map(prop => ({[prop]: o[prop]})));
}
If we want to preserve the properties' attributes, such as configurable and getters and setters, while also omitting non-enumerable properties, then:
function pick(o, ...props) {
var has = p => o.propertyIsEnumerable(p),
get = p => Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(o, p);
return Object.defineProperties({},
Object.assign({}, ...props
.filter(prop => has(prop))
.map(prop => ({prop: get(props)})))
);
}
