What is the meaning of { variable } in Node JS

Question

I am going through an online article and I came across

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const { Schema } = mongoose;

May I know what is the meaning of const { Schema } = mongoose;.

Are we doing object initiation of mongoose to Schema variable or ?

It's called *decomposition*. That `const` declaration means to create a variable called `Schema` whose value is that of the property with the same name in the object on the right-hand side of `=`. — Pointy, May 13 '20 at 14:26

In JavaScript, the const { Schema } = mongoose; syntax is something called object destructuring.

But this statement is exactly equivalent to this:

const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
