Destructuring in JavaScript

This article is part of an ongoing series on technical and soft skills from Nathan Thomas, a full stack software engineer. We'll talk about the concepts behind destructuring in JavaScript, how to use it, and why you might want to use the array or object variations. The first example shows an array, called an array of arrays, and the second example shows object destructuring. We’ll get into its use cases and the philosophy behind it shortly, but don’t worry, the code above probably looked a little weird.
