Easy way to remove a property from an Object

There are two ways to delete a property from an object.

• Normal way, with delete operator
• Easy and Better way, with rest operator

delete operator

const person = {
  name: "John Doe",
  age: 30,
};

delete person.age;

console.log(person);
// { name: "John Doe" }

rest operator

const person = {
  name: "John Doe",
  age: 30,
};

const { age, ...newPerson } = person;

console.log(newPerson);
// { name: "John Doe" }

Why removing a property with rest operator is better?

delete operator mutates the original object, while using rest operator you make a new copy of the object without given property.
