Rest in destructuring

[ehpc]

Hi!
You've grouped destructuring kata into rest parameter syntax. But I think it's not correct, because in case of destructuring you are not using rest syntax, you are using spread operator instead. It just happens that spread can behave similarly to the rest syntax. In specs it is called SpreadElement http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/#sec-array-initializer. And Mozilla thinks the same https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Spread_operator.

do you mean this one here? https://github.com/tddbin/katas/blob/master/katas/es6/language/rest/with-destructuring.js

[ehpc]

Yep

[wolframkriesing]

you are absolutely right, thanks for bringing those things up. I think about how to not break things and will try to employ it, ideas/PRs welcome.

[ehpc]

What exactly are you afraid to break?

[wolframkriesing]

all the links on http://es6katas.org/ depend on it, esp this one (which might also be used in tweets or other places, at least I did) will change
http://tddbin.com/#?kata=es6/language/destructuring/rename
and having this in place might also make changes in the future safer, legacy decision :)

If you are running Apache, you can use something like mod_rewrite with .htaccess to redirect users to a new url without deleting the old one.

[wolframkriesing]

yep, if I did :) but it's currently all just a static page on github :)
but i can start changing the description, thats a start

[ehpc]

Well I don't think github has something like rewrite, so the only solution that comes to mind is moving your site to a separate hosting provider :) Or maybe just setting up a hosting as a proxy redirecting links to github as necessary.

[wolframkriesing]

how do you like it now? https://github.com/tddbin/katas/blob/master/katas/es6/language/destructuring/rename.js

It's better, but still a little confusing. I would say something like "assign object property values to new variables while destructuring" sounds more to the point. And "use a colon after the property name, like so propertyName: newName".

thanks!
