### ES6 Object Initializers
|
|
|
|
In ES6 you can use shorthand property syntax to initialize objects, which at first does not appear to be very time-saving but when you are creating many objects in a project can be super useful.
|
|
|
|
If you have a property name that is exactly the same as your variable name instead of placing it twice in ES6 you can use the shorthand property syntax:
|
|
```javascript
|
|
// ES5
|
|
var name = 'Lord Farquad';
|
|
|
|
var user = {
|
|
name: name,
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
// ES6
|
|
const name = 'Shrek';
|
|
|
|
const user = {
|
|
name,
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
This shorthand property syntax is also useful when initializing methods in an objec:
|
|
```javascript
|
|
// ES5
|
|
var example = {
|
|
getName: function(name) {
|
|
return name.firstName + ' ' + name.lastName;
|
|
},
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
// ES6 Shorthand
|
|
const example = {
|
|
getName(name) {
|
|
return name.firstName + ' ' + name.lastName;
|
|
},
|
|
};
|
|
```
