Structuring

See also: Destructuring and Restructuring

The opposite of destructuring, object-structuring allows you to create objects with further-reduced syntax. Inside an explicit object-literal, you can omit keys for your values and have them automatically generated for you:

a = {} # < explicit object literal block
  user
  post.caption
  @count
  info: "normal, explicit keys work here, too"

// Javascript ES6 (EcmaScript6)
a = {
  user,
  caption: post.caption,
  count:   this.count,
  info:    "normal, explicit keys work here, too"
};

Implicit Key Rules

If it is a pathed reference, the final identifier is used as the key.

• Effectively, "@" and everything before the last '.' in a dot-chain are removed when generating the key.
• This is the inverse of pathing with Destructuring.

Examples:

{} @foo     # foo: @foo
{} foo.bar  # bar: foo.bar

Note: Doesn't Work with Implicit Objects

a = # < implicit
  info: 123
  user
  post.caption
  @count
  foo: 123

a = [{info: 123}, user, post.caption, @count, {foo: 123}];

Structuring with Destructuring

This provides a built-in way to 'select' props from one object, creating a new one, without listing the property names more than once:

a = {} userRecord extract name, address
b = {} myPoint extract x, y

# OR
a = {} {name, address} = userRecord
b = {} {x, y} = myPoint

let a, b,
  {name, address} = userRecord,
  {x, y} = myPoint;

a = {name, address};
b = {x, y};
