TypeError: Cannot destructure property 'x' of 'y' as it is …

Error message

TypeError: Cannot destructure property 'x' of 'y' as it is undefined.

What broke

You attempted to destructure the property 'x' from the object 'y', but 'y' is undefined. This means that the code is trying to access a property of an object that doesn't exist.

Why it broke

This broke because the variable 'y' was expected to be an object but was not initialized or assigned a value before the destructuring operation. As a result, JavaScript cannot find 'x' to destructure from 'y'.

How to fix

To fix this, ensure that 'y' is defined before destructuring. You can provide a default value for 'y' or check if 'y' is defined before attempting to destructure it.

Code fix

const { x } = y || {};
