# 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 ### Rest Properties ```js 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 ```js let n = { x, y, ...z }; console.log(n); // { x: 1, y: 2, a: 3, b: 4 } ``` ## Installation ```sh npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-object-rest-spread ``` ## Usage ### Via `.babelrc` (Recommended) **.babelrc** ```json { "plugins": ["transform-object-rest-spread"] } ``` ### 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"] }); ``` ## Options ### `useBuiltIns` `boolean`, defaults to `false`. By default, this plugin uses Babel's `extends` helper which polyfills `Object.assign`. Enabling this option will use `Object.assign` directly. **.babelrc** ```json { "plugins": [ ["transform-object-rest-spread", { "useBuiltIns": true }] ] } ``` **In** ```js z = { x, ...y }; ``` **Out** ```js z = Object.assign({ x }, y); ``` ## References * [Proposal: Object Rest/Spread Properties for ECMAScript](https://github.com/sebmarkbage/ecmascript-rest-spread) * [Spec](http://sebmarkbage.github.io/ecmascript-rest-spread)
