What is @babel/plugin-transform-object-rest-spread?
The @babel/plugin-transform-object-rest-spread package allows developers to use the object rest and spread properties syntax in their JavaScript code. This syntax is part of the ECMAScript 2018 (ES9) specification and enables more concise and readable code when copying properties from one object to another or collecting the remaining properties of an object after certain properties have been extracted.
What are @babel/plugin-transform-object-rest-spread's main functionalities?
Object Spread Properties
Allows an object's own enumerable properties to be copied into a new object. This is useful for creating a new object with the same properties as an existing object or for combining multiple objects into one.
{...source}
Object Rest Properties
Enables extracting properties from objects and binding the remaining properties to a new object. This is useful for object destructuring, where you want to separate certain properties from the rest of the properties in an object.
{a, b, ...rest}
