How do I use es6 syntax with split?

Question

         const {city, country} = input.split(/\s*,\s*/);

These are both undefined.

Input is los gatos, california

`[v1, v2]` instead since split returns an array not an object — Bravo, May 09 '22 at 05:36

*How do I access it?* You get `city` and `country` as separate variables. — Lain, May 09 '22 at 06:10

.split results in an array output but you're destructuring it as if it were an object.

Do

const [city, country] = 'los gatos, california'.split(/\s*,\s*/);
console.log(city);
console.log(country);

You destructure by using array destructuring ([..]) instead of object ({..})
