• unpacking array separate variables in javascript 7 answers

if have javascript function returns 2 values, possible assign values 2 variables in single statement?

for example, in python might like:

(var1, var2) = function() 

i have tried few things tres this:

this.(var1, var2) = function(); 

i tried along lines of:

this.var1, this.var2 = function(); 

and

this.var1 = this.var2 = function(); 

i attempted using single array instead of multiple variables, complicate i'm trying accomplish later on because 2 variables used story x , y coordinates.

the answer yes can, works in browsers experimental technology, part of harmony (ecmascript 6) proposal, it's not recommended @ time of posting answer.

function foo(){     return ["one", "two", "three"]; }  var [one, two, three] = foo(); 

you can in 2 lines appreciate isn't want works.

var foo = foo(); var 1 = foo[0], 2 = foo[1], 3 = foo[2];
