js destructure and define field

Question

if I have the following object:

const obj = { 
  a: {
    b: 'val',
  },
};

and I want to destructure both a and b from the object, how would I go about doing it? I know this:

const { a: { b } } = obj;

but this doesn't let me access a. How can I also make a accessible in the code?

Answer 1

Just include it.

const obj = { 
  a: {
    b: 'val',
  },
};

const { a, a: { b } } = obj;

console.log(a);
console.log(b);
