Hi everyone! Could you explain for me please why we can use shorthand like this '{name}' instead of this '{name: name}' I mean why is it work)?
const userNames = ['Samir', 'Angela', 'Beatrice', 'Shaniqua', 'Marvin', 'Sean'];
// Result: [{name: 'Samir'}, {name: 'Shaniqua'}, {name:'Sean'}];
const userObj = userNames.filter(name => name[0] === 'S')
.map(name => ({name})); // why is it work? instead {name: name}
console.log(userObj);
Thank you in advance
