Hello,
https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures/functional-programming/use-the-map-method-to-extract-data-from-an-array
I’m trying to make the destructured solution. The console indicates : “ReferenceError: title is not defined”
const ratings = watchList.map(item => ({Title: title, imdbRating: rating} = item));
Why that doesn’t work ?
It would help if you provided your full code so we can better troubleshoot.
That does not look like valid destructuring.
var watchList = [

Yeah, that is not a valid destructuring.
I don’t understand the freeCodeCamp destructured solution because in the first solution the function has “item” as only parameter and into the destructured solution there are two parametres.
in my solution (that dosen’t work):
{Title: title, imdbRating: rating} = item
Is well egal to:
item = {
title: item["Title"],
rating: item["imdbRating"]
}
That I return by () in the table of map() for each items.
In fact, I would like to understand the passage from 1 parameter to two parameters to the function
I added the MDN docs on Destructuring assignment to the hint page. I suggest you give it a read. If you still have a question after that feel free to ask it.
You can’t freely swap around the order of things relative to the equal sign; that changes the meaning of the code significantly.
The example code is using destructuring for the map callback function parameters. If you want to do the destructuring inside the function body you can do that as well but you have to declare the variables.
const ratings = watchList.map((item) => {
const { Title: title, imdbRating: rating } = item;
return { title, rating };
})
Yes Lasjorg, I think this solution goes in the direction of my logic.
Jeremy, I think this extract from the MDN page illustrates what you wanted to explain to me.
So in a fonction, it’s the same process:
