# babel-plugin-transform-object-rest-spread > This plugin allows Babel to transform rest properties for object destructuring assignment and spread properties for object literals. ## Example ```js // Rest properties let { x, y, ...z } = { x: 1, y: 2, a: 3, b: 4 }; console.log(x); // 1 console.log(y); // 2 console.log(z); // { a: 3, b: 4 } // Spread properties let n = { x, y, ...z }; console.log(n); // { x: 1, y: 2, a: 3, b: 4 } ``` [Try in REPL](https://babeljs.io/repl/#?evaluate=true&presets=es2015%2Cstage-0&code=%2F%2F%20Rest%20properties%0Alet%20%7B%20x%2C%20y%2C%20...z%20%7D%20%3D%20%7B%20x%3A%201%2C%20y%3A%202%2C%20a%3A%203%2C%20b%3A%204%20%7D%3B%0Aconsole.log(x)%3B%20%2F%2F%201%0Aconsole.log(y)%3B%20%2F%2F%202%0Aconsole.log(z)%3B%20%2F%2F%20%7B%20a%3A%203%2C%20b%3A%204%20%7D%0A%0A%2F%2F%20Spread%20properties%0Alet%20n%20%3D%20%7B%20x%2C%20y%2C%20...z%20%7D%3B%0Aconsole.log(n)%3B%20%2F%2F%20%7B%20x%3A%201%2C%20y%3A%202%2C%20a%3A%203%2C%20b%3A%204%20%7D) ## Installation ```sh npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-object-rest-spread ``` ## Usage ### Via `.babelrc` (Recommended) **.babelrc** ```json { "plugins": ["transform-object-rest-spread"] } ``` ## Options This plugin will use babel's `extends` helper, which will polyfill `Object.assign` by default. * `useBuiltIns` - Do not use Babel's helper's and just transform to use the built-in method (Disabled by default). ```js { "plugins": [ ["transform-object-rest-spread", { "useBuiltIns": true }] ] } // source z = { x, ...y }; // compiled z = Object.assign({ x }, y); ``` ### Via CLI ```sh babel --plugins transform-object-rest-spread script.js ``` ### Via Node API ```javascript require("babel-core").transform("code", { plugins: ["transform-object-rest-spread"] }); ``` ## References * [Proposal: Object Rest/Spread Properties for ECMAScript](https://github.com/sebmarkbage/ecmascript-rest-spread) * [Spec](http://sebmarkbage.github.io/ecmascript-rest-spread)
