Top ES6+ Features Every Developer Should Know

Explore the modern JavaScript features that will make your code cleaner and more efficient.

Arrow Functions

Shorter function syntax: const add = (a, b) => a + b;

Template Literals

String interpolation: const greeting = \Hello, ${name}!\;

Destructuring

Extract values easily: const { name, age } = user; const [first, second] = array;

Spread Operator

Expand elements: const newArr = [...arr1, ...arr2]; const newObj = { ...obj1, ...obj2 };

Default Parameters

function greet(name = 'World') { return \Hello, ${name}!\; }

Rest Parameters

Collect remaining arguments: function sum(...numbers) { return numbers.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0); }

Optional Chaining

Safe property access: const city = user?.address?.city;

Nullish Coalescing

Default for null/undefined only: const value = input ?? 'default';
