Take the following line of code
const [component] = router.getMatchedComponents({ ...to })
Could anyone advise what the square brackets around component means here? I have tried to google this but struggling to find an answer
It's called Destructuring assignment, and it's used to unpack the values of an array
and assign them to new variables.
So here in your code:
const [component] = router.getMatchedComponents({ ...to })
You are declaring a component
variable that will hold the object hold in the array that will be returned from router.getMatchedComponents({...to})
, where to
is an array like structure turned into array
using the spread operation.
