Embedding spread operator during es7 declaration

Question

I want to do something like this:

const translations = {
    en: {
        statistics_title: 'Statistics'
    },
    ru: {
        statistics_title: ''
    },
    uk: {
        ...ru
    }
}

obviously this won't work, of course, I can set another const and then use it, but I'm lazy), so I wonder if javascript allows you to do this?

Answer 1

You cannot refer to objects yourself if this is not a method.

You can do:

const translations = {
    en: {
        statistics_title: 'Statistics'
    },
    ru: {
        statistics_title: ''
    },
    get uk () {
        return this.ru
    }
}

Edit

If you want to translations.uknot copy ruor store your own data, this method will not work. It just sets translations.ukas a link totranslations.ru

Answer 2

You must declare this value rubefore distribution, i.e.:

const ru = {
    statistics_title: ''
};

const translations = {
    en: {
        statistics_title: 'Statistics'
    },
    ru,
    uk: {
        ...ru
    }
};
