Is there an elegant way of passing an object of parameters into a function?

Question

I have the following method which takes a set of data and creates a new instance of a model from it. The reportTemplateData comes in as an object which I destructure in order to pass in as a list of properties to the class constructor.

Whilst this works, I feel like it could be done far more efficiently. Is there a more elegant way to do this in a line or so?

addReportTemplate(reportTemplateData) {
  const {
    id,
    pageId,
    profileTemplateId,
    userId,
    name,
    description,
    createdAt,
    updatedAt,
    deletedAt,
    createdBy,
    updatedBy,
    deletedBy,
    reportTemplateColumns,
  } = reportTemplateData;
  const newReportTemplate = new ReportTemplate(
    id,
    pageId,
    profileTemplateId,
    userId,
    name,
    description,
    createdAt,
    updatedAt,
    deletedAt,
    createdBy,
    updatedBy,
    deletedBy,
    reportTemplateColumns,
  );
  this.reportTemplates.push(reportTemplates);
}

EDIT

Worth noting that if you go for the const newReportTemplate = new ReportTemplate({...reportTemplateData}) solution, you must match your data properties precisely to your class constructor parameters. This was an issue for me where the data was coming in in snake_case whereas my Javascript model was looking for camelCase.

Answer 1

Assuming that only the properties you want to pass are in that object.

addReportTemplate(reportTemplateData) {
  const newReportTemplate = new ReportTemplate({ ...reportTemplateData });
  this.reportTemplates.push(reportTemplates);
}

If there are a few properties you want to exclude, destructure them.

addReportTemplate(reportTemplateData) {
  const { 
      excluded1,
      excluded2,
      ...properties,
   } = reportTemplateData;
  const newReportTemplate = new ReportTemplate({ ...properties });
  this.reportTemplates.push(reportTemplates);
}

Both of these approaches require a change in ReportTemplate class where the constructor takes an object as parameter. See two examples of how this approach would work in this pen.
