Javascript equivalent of PHP's list()

In PHP you can do assignment like this:

list($b,$c,$d) = array("A","B","C");

Is there anything like that in JS?

Answer 1

People seem to hate the with() construct in javascript, but anyway…

function f(){return {a:1, b:2};}
with(f()) {
    alert(a);//1
}


// or
function combine(propertyNames, values) {
    var o = {};
    for (var i=0; i<propertyNames.length; i++) {
        o[propertyNames[i]] = values[i];
    }
    return o;
}

with (combine(['a', 'b'], [1, 2])) {
    alert(b);//2
}
