✨ How to Immutably remove property from JavaScript Object

#javascript #react #webdev #angular

Say we want to create a copy of an existing object, reusing most of the properties while dropping few. In order to remove unwanted properties, there are two basic patterns we usually follow.

Let say we have the following object to work with:

Let obj = {
    Name:'Ahmed Murtaza',
    Email:'ahmed_murtaza@xyz.com',
    twitter:'ahmedgmurtaza',
    fb:'ahmedgmurtaza'
};

Old school way

First approach is to use delete operator, for that we first duplicate the original object and then explicitly delete the unwanted property out of it, here the unwanted property is twitter:

Let obj2 = Object.assign({}, obj);
delete obj2.twitter;

🌟 Using Object destructuring + rest operator:

using this pattern, we isolate the removing property using destructuring format and name the rest of the properties as new object:

let { twitter, ...obj2 } = obj;
console.log(obj2); // obj2 does not carries twitter property

Using the above approach, we can immutably remove any property out of the object or can pick the one we need while ignoring the rest of the properties.

How to reduce TTFB

In the past few years in the web dev world, we’ve seen a significant push towards rendering our websites on the server. Doing so is better for SEO and performs better on low-powered devices, but one thing we had to sacrifice is TTFB.

In this article, we’ll see how we can identify what makes our TTFB high so we can fix it.
