Simple examples of destructuring in ES6

repl.js

// http://babeljs.io/
// http://shouldjs.github.io/
import * as should from 'should';

let bilbo = {
  name: 'Bilbo',
  age: 50,
  family: ['Baggins', 'Took'],
  pastTime: ['writing']};

let {name, family:parents} = bilbo;

name.should.equal('Bilbo');
parents.should.eql(['Baggins', 'Took']);

let hobbies = ({name, pastTime:hobbies}) => name + ' enjoys ' + hobbies.join(', ');

hobbies(bilbo).should.equal('Bilbo enjoys writing');
hobbies({
  name: 'Gollum',
  something: 'else',
  pastTime: ['precious!']}).should.equal('Gollum enjoys precious!');
