Easily extract values from arrays and properties from objects.
Destructuring assignment is an ES6 feature that provides a concise and elegant way to unpack values from arrays or properties from objects into distinct variables. It makes code cleaner and more readable by reducing the need for repetitive assignment statements. For objects, you use curly braces `{}` on the left side of the assignment. You can pull out properties by their name and assign them to variables of the same name. You can also assign them to new variable names using the `sourceProperty: newName` syntax. This is incredibly useful for extracting specific pieces of data from a large object, such as an API response. For arrays, you use square brackets `[]`. The assignment works based on the position of the elements. You can grab the first few elements, skip elements using a comma, and even capture all remaining elements into a new array using the rest pattern (`...`). Destructuring is commonly used for function parameters, allowing you to neatly unpack an object passed as an argument directly into the function's parameter list. This improves readability and makes it clear what properties the function expects.
