Destructuring — Unpacking properties from objects passed as a function parameter

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). Objects passed into function parameters can also be unpacked into variables, which may then be accessed within the function body. As for object assignment, the destructuring syntax allows for the new variable to have the same name or a different name than the original property, and to assign default values for the case when the original object does not define the property. Consider this object, which contains information about a user. Here we show how to unpack a property of the passed object into a variable with the same name. The parameter value { id } indicates that the id property of the object passed to the function should be unpacked into a variable with the same name, which can then be used within the function. You can define the name of the unpacked variable. Here we unpack the property named displayName, and rename it to dname for use within the function body.
