## Splats, or Rest Parameters/Spread Syntax
The JavaScript `arguments` object is a useful way to work with functions that accept variable numbers of arguments. CoffeeScript provides splats `...`, both for function definition as well as invocation, making variable numbers of arguments a little bit more palatable. ES2015 adopted this feature as their [rest parameters](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Functions/rest_parameters).
```
codeFor('splats', true)
```
<div id="array-spread" class="bookmark"></div>
Splats also let us elide array elements...
```
codeFor('array_spread', 'all')
```
<div id="object-spread" class="bookmark"></div>
...and object properties.
```
codeFor('object_spread', 'JSON.stringify(currentUser)')
```
In ECMAScript this is called [spread syntax](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Spread_operator), and has been supported for arrays since ES2015 and objects since ES2018.
