Using object destructuring ES6

Object destructuring lets you pull out properties from an object in order to create variables. This means that if we have an object called user and it's set equal to an object with a name property set to andrew and an age property set to 25, as shown in the following code:

const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;var user = {name: 'andrew', age: 25};

We can easily pull out one of these into a variable. Let's say, for example, we want to grab name and create a name variable.
