I do love to use destructuring for most everything in my JS code-bases 🤓 But your article actually got me curious which one is actually faster 🤔 So I made a quick benchmark seems like they're pretty much on par, so I'll always go with the destructuring then 😍 - Hopefully the V8-team will increase the performance of this in the future though!
Always good with a great truncate-function! Really only thing I'd lay my finger on, is the fact, that the string now gets 3 characters longer when truncated. What I mean is, would it be better to do something like subtracting the length of the ellipsis (...) also, thus making it more compatible with, say, twitter 😇 Also, a way to improve the code maybe: function truncate(string, limit = 160, ellipsis = "...") { limit -= ellipsis.length; if (string.length >= limit) { return string.substring(0, limit) + ellipsis; } return string; } This way, the result will become: const t = truncate("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet", 20); t // "Lorem ipsum dolor..." t.length; // 20 "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet".length; // 26 Length is now always 26 chars, instead of truncating on 26, then adding the ellipsis to the end of the string. Though, this is simply a design question! 🤓 Love the article though!
