Default Value for Deconstructed Object Parameter

In ES6, you can deconstruct a function’s object parameter to have its properties assigned to local named variables:

function MyComponent({
  item: { foo, bar }
}) { ... }

Also in ES6, the properties of the object parameter can have a default value set:

function MyComponent({
  item = "LOL"
}) { ... }

TIL: The object parameter can have both destructuring and default values applied to it!

function MyComponent({
  item: { foo, bar } = { foo: 1, bar: 2 }
}) { ... }
