Difference Between the Spread and Rest Operators in JavaScript

Comments(1)

// We use the spread operator to spread array values or iterables into maybe an array or object.

// While we use the Rest operator to gather the remaining elements passed into a function as an array.

const myFunction = (name1, ...rest) => { // used rest operator here
    console.log(name1);
    console.log(rest);
};

let names = ["John", "Jane", "John", "Joe", "Joel"];
myFunction(...names); // used spread operator here

javascript rest parameters vs spread operator

Comment

/** 
* JS Spread and Rest operators:
* Two operators with the same syntax (...) but behave differently
*/

// Rest parameter: collects all remaining elements into an array. 
function foo (...args) { console.log(args) } 
foo(1,2,3,4,5,6) // Output: (6) [1,2,3,4,5,6]

// Spread operator: allows iterables to be expanded into single elements.
let arr = [1, 2, 3];
let arrCopy = [-1, 0, ...arr]; // spread the array into a list of parameters
                        // then put the result into a new array
