Destructuring Arrays

In JavaScript, we can assign the values within an array to variables. Here is an example…

let animals = [‘gorilla’, ‘koala’, ‘elephant’]; 
let [animal1, animal2, animal3] = animals; console.log(animal1, animal2, animal3);

The output will be ‘gorilla’, ‘koala’, ‘elephant’.

The hint that you are destructuring is that the square brackets is on the left side of the equal sign. You can also combine destructuring with rest parameters…

let [animal1, …animals] = animals; console.log(animal1, animals);

The output would ‘gorilla’, [‘koala’, ‘elephant’].

Happy Coding!

A Friendly Introduction to the Document Object Model (DOM) API

The Document Object Model (DOM) is the browser’s in-memory representation of your HTML, letting JavaScript select elements (querySelector), listen to events (addEventListener), update content (textContent), toggle styles (classList), and create/insert nodes (createElement, insertAdjacentElement). With it, a button can change a box’s text, toggle a highlight class, set a data attribute, or insert a new paragraph right after the box—no page reload required—illustrating the simple flow: select, listen, update.
