+# Destructure Variables As Props To A Component
+
+When passing down props, a redundant-feeling pattern can sometimes emerge.
+
+```javascript
+const MyComponent = ({ handleChange, handleBlur }) => {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <OtherComponent />
+      <MySubComponent handleChange={handleChange} handleBlur={handleBlur} />
+    </div>
+  )
+};
+```
+
+The typing feel duplicative, as if there ought to be a better way. One
+option is to simply pass down all the props:
+
+```javascript
+<MySubComponent {...props} />
+```
+
+This approach may result in passing down props that we don't intend to pass
+down and clutters the flow of data in our app.
+
+Here is another approach:
+
+```javascript
+const MyComponent = ({ handleChange, handleBlur }) => {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <OtherComponent />
+      <MySubComponent {...{handleChange, handleBlur}} />
+    </div>
+  )
+};
+```
+
+Here we are taking advantage of two ES6 features. Since the naming is the
+same, we can use [property
+shorthands](http://es6-features.org/#PropertyShorthand). Then we immediately
+use the [spread operator](http://es6-features.org/#SpreadOperator) to splat
+it back out as the props to the component.
