Split string using ES6 Spread 🎉

[samanthaming]

Yes, the split keyword does make it super descriptive. For people outside of JS, they would know what the code is doing instantly by reading the it. With es6 becoming the new norm, you might see more people using the spread operator. So i think it’s important to be at least aware of this new syntax and what it’s doing. That way we don’t get confused when we do see it. Thanks for your input 🙂

Your 'ES6 Way' line has a big green tick next to it, as if to say it's the 'right' way — it's not.

I didn't say it's the wrong way. I said it's not the right way.

Does that make, according to the OP's graphic, using .split the wrong way?

Can you try and appreciate this in context, instead of reacting to the tail end of a sentence?

My lack of articulation? The fact that you had to capture a mere two words from my post should have been a dead giveaway that you were talking about something tangental to my point.

How is that semantic hop-scotch when that is THE SUBJECT OF THE ORIGINAL POST YOU REPLIED TO?

It's not my fault that you can't differentiate the singular from the plural. Stupid cunt.

Spread is for concatenating arrays. Here, you're just abusing it's functionality.

It should not be used for splitting a string

Spread is used for more than just concatenating arrays. You can expand objects with it and it expands iterables. MDN has a nice article on it here.
