Destructuring Props in React

There are two ways to destructure props in React:

    function MyComponent({name,age,height}){
            // do stuff here
    }

or

    function MyComponent(props){
            const {name,age,height} = props
            // do stuff here
    }

If the first way of destructuring is used, does it mean that no access to other props is available? For example, if <MyComponent name="bob" age={25} height = {175} haspets={false}/> is used, will the component have access to the haspets prop?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of these two ways?

No, the first way of destructuring props in React does not mean that no access to other props is available. If there are additional props passed to the component, they can still be accessed using the props object.

Advantages of the first way of destructuring props:

  • It is more concise and can make the code easier to read.
  • It allows for selective renaming of props.

Advantages of the second way of destructuring props:

  • It allows for default values to be set.
  • It allows for destructuring of nested objects and arrays within props.

Disadvantages of the first way of destructuring props:

  • It is less flexible and does not allow for default values or destructuring of nested objects and arrays.

Disadvantages of the second way of destructuring props:

  • It can be more verbose and harder to read.
