How to destructure object properties with key names that are invalid variable names?

Question

As object keys are strings they can contain any kind of characters and special characters. I recently stumbled upon an object which I receive from an API call. This object has '-' in it's key names.

const object = {
   "key-with-dash": []
}

Destructuring does not work in this case because key-with-dash is not a valid variable name.

const { key-with-dash } = object;

So one question came to my mind. How am I supposed to destructure the object in such cases? Is it even possible at all?

Answer 1

const data = {
   "key-with-dash": ["BAZ"]
}

const {"key-with-dash": foo} = data;

console.log("foo", foo);

Answer 2

Just give it a valid name

let object = { 'key-with-dash': [] }
let {'key-with-dash':y} = object
console.log(y)
// => []

Did you also know you can destructure with variables?

let object = { 'key-with-dash': [] }
let key = 'key-with-dash'
let {[key]:y} = object
console.log(y)
// => []
