Lab description

In this lab, you will be working with the JavaScript Spread Operator. The spread operator is a syntax with the purpose of unpacking values from an iterable data collection into individual elements. The spread operator can be used as a copying mechanism in JavaScript, which can lead to some unintended side effects.

 

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this lab, you will be able to:

  • Use the spread operator to make a new object from an existing object.
  • Use the spread operator to merge two arrays into one new array.

Intended Audience

  • Beginners learning front-end development
  • Software Engineers who need to learn front-end technologies to expand their skillset
