When trying to destructure a nested object which could be null, the default value is not being used.
I have accomplished this by destructuring in multiple stages, but would rather do it in a single stage if possible.
const obj = { a: null };
const { a: { b, c } = {} } = obj;
This results in error:
Cannot destructure property 'b' of 'undefined' or 'null'
I would expect b and c to be undefined
For the default value to be used, the value which you are destructuring must be undefined
.
const obj = { a: undefined };
const { a: { b, c } = {} } = obj;
console.log(b, c)
