The provided code snippet is part of an object definition, likely for specifying HTTP request headers in a context such as a fetch
or axios
API call. Here's what it does:
-
headers
object:- It defines the
headers
property for an HTTP request.
- It defines the
-
Accept: 'application/json'
:- This explicitly sets the
Accept
header toapplication/json
, instructing the server that the client expects a JSON response.
- This explicitly sets the
-
... (token ? { token } : {})
:- This uses the spread syntax (
...
) and a conditional operator (token ? { token } : {}
) to conditionally add atoken
header to theheaders
object. - If the value of
token
(a variable) is truthy,{ token }
creates a new object with atoken
key whose value is thetoken
variable. - If
token
isfalsey
(e.g.,null
,undefined
,false
, etc.), the expression returns{}
(an empty object), meaning no additional headers will be added.
- This uses the spread syntax (
Final Behavior:
- The
headers
object always includes theAccept
header. - If the
token
variable is truthy, thetoken
header is included in theheaders
with its value set to whatever thetoken
variable holds. - If
token
is falsey, thetoken
header is excluded.
Example Outputs:
Assuming token = 'abc123'
:
headers: {
Accept: 'application/json',
token: 'abc123'
}
If token = null
:
headers: {
Accept: 'application/json'
}
