587d7b89367417b2b2512b4a Use Destructuring Assignment to Assign Variables from Nested Objects 1 301214

Description

You can use the same principles from the previous two lessons to destructure values from nested objects.

Using an object similar to previous examples:

const user = {
  johnDoe: { 
    age: 34,
    email: 'johnDoe@freeCodeCamp.com'
  }
};

Here's how to extract the values of object properties and assign them to variables with the same name:

const { johnDoe: { age, email }} = user;

And here's how you can assign an object properties' values to variables with different names:

const { johnDoe: { age: userAge, email: userEmail }} = user;

Instructions

Replace the two assignments with an equivalent destructuring assignment. It should still assign the variables lowToday and highToday the values of today.low and today.high from the LOCAL_FORECAST object.

Tests

tests:
  - text: You should remove the ES5 assignment syntax.
    testString: assert(!code.match(/lowToday = LOCAL_FORECAST\.today\.low/g) && !code.match(/highToday = LOCAL_FORECAST\.today.high/g))
  - text: You should use destructuring to create the <code>lowToday</code> variable.
    testString: assert(code.match(/(var|const|let)\s*{\s*today\s*:\s*{\s*(low\s*:\s*lowToday[^}]*|[^,]*,\s*low\s*:\s*lowToday\s*)}\s*}\s*=\s*LOCAL_FORECAST(;|\s+|\/\/)/g));
  - text: You should use destructuring to create the <code>highToday</code> variable.
    testString: assert(code.match(/(var|const|let)\s*{\s*today\s*:\s*{\s*(high\s*:\s*highToday[^}]*|[^,]*,\s*high\s*:\s*highToday\s*)}\s*}\s*=\s*LOCAL_FORECAST(;|\s+|\/\/)/g));

Challenge Seed

const LOCAL_FORECAST = {
  yesterday: { low: 61, high: 75 },
  today: { low: 64, high: 77 },
  tomorrow: { low: 68, high: 80 }
};

// change code below this line
  
const lowToday = LOCAL_FORECAST.today.low;
const highToday = LOCAL_FORECAST.today.high;

// change code above this line

console.log(lowToday); // should be 64
console.log(highToday); // should be 77

Solution

const LOCAL_FORECAST = {
  yesterday: { low: 61, high: 75 },
  today: { low: 64, high: 77 },
  tomorrow: { low: 68, high: 80 }
};

// change code below this line
  
const { today: { low: lowToday, high: highToday }} = LOCAL_FORECAST;

// change code above this line

console.log(highToday); // should be 77
console.log(highTomorrow); // should be 80
