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 Quick Tour of the Web Encoding API

Modern web apps live at the boundary between JavaScript strings and raw bytes. The Web Encoding API exists to make that boundary explicit and safe: it lets you encode a string into UTF‑8 bytes and decode bytes back into text. Importantly, these operations aren’t symmetrical—encoding targets UTF‑8, while decoding can interpret UTF‑8 and many legacy encodings. Alongside the synchronous TextEncoder and TextDecoder, the platform also provides stream-based variants for processing text incrementally as data arrives.

EditContext API: A New Foundation for Custom Web Editors

The experimental EditContext API gives developers a new foundation for building custom rich text editors by separating text input and selection from rendering. Instead of relying on contenteditable, you attach an EditContext to a focusable element and manage your own text model, selection state, and UI updates—while still receiving browser-grade events for typing, caret movement, and IME composition. This demo highlights the core event flow and why character bounds matter for accurate input UI, especially in custom-rendered editors.
