To get the subset of properties of a JavaScript Object, we make use of destructuring and Property Shorthand. The destructuring assignment syntax is a JavaScript expression that makes it possible to unpack values from arrays, or properties from objects, into distinct variables.
Syntax:
subset = (({a, c}) => ({a, c}))(obj);

var output = 'Subset Object: < br >';

Output:

In ES6 there is a very concise way to do this using destructing. Destructing allows you to easily add on to objects and make subset objects.
Syntax:
const {c, d, ...partialObject} = object;
const subset = {c, d};
