... What Do The Three Dots Mean In Typescript - Rest Operator
let displayColors = function(message ...colors){};
Looking at this variable function above, you can clearly see the usagave of ... which is called a REST VARIABLE.
I am learning typescript right now, and the way i understand this feature in typescript ECMAScript ES6 is that this can help you create an array. this is very helpful if you want to pass down an array into a function.
this is an example of using Restp operators:
//the spread operator takes an array and splits it into individual elements
//this is an example of the REST operator
let displayColors = function(message ...colors){
console.log(message);
console.log(colors); // shows the array properties
console.log(arguments.length); // shows how many elements
for(let i in colors){
console.log(colors[i]);
}
}
let message = "List of Colors";
let colorArray = ['orange','yellow','purple'];
displayColors(message,
...colorArray); // HERE IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REST AND SPREAD. YOU
USE THE THREE DOTS WHEN YOU CALL THE FUNCTION
if you still need help, i learn about rest operators from this video:
REST = TO COMBAINE / SPREAD = SPLIT
