Refactor: Introduce object destruction

Search Terms

refactor, object destruction

Suggestion

A refactor that extract all property access expression to a object destruction or convert back

Use Cases

Examples

const item = {
  a: 1, b: 2
}

call(item.a, item.b)

to

const item = {
  a: 1, b: 2
}

const { a, b } = item

call(a, b)

Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.)
• This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.

Start with the issue's TypeScript examples and the linked Design Goals, then determine the intended scope of converting property-access expressions to object destructuring or back again. No source files, entry points, or tests are named, so locating the relevant compiler transformation and defining coverage would require substantial project familiarity. Done means the specified conversion works without changing emitted JavaScript runtime behavior.
