Create Array from Object - ES6

Question

Can I create an Array from an Object just in one line? I don't want all the values object, just a selection:

const myObject = { a: 'foo', b: 'bar', c:'yep' }

const { a, c } = myObject
const myArray = Array.of(a, c)

console.log(myArray)

Could I use destructuring in some way inside the Array.of parameter?

Why dont you want to use Object.keys & Array.map methods? — The Reason

If your point is to codegolf the solution, then: myArray=(({a,c})=>[a,c])(myObject) — pawel

Just write your solution in one line. A bit shorter: const { a, c } = myObject, myArray = [a, c]. Even an imaginary solution cannot be shorter, so maybe you explain your objective. — a better oliver

Why not just :

const myObject = { a: 'foo', b: 'bar', c:'yep' };
let arr = Array.of(myObject.a, myObject.c);
console.log(arr);

Yep, that could be a reasonable solution but I just wanted to avoid repeat references to the Object or to the keys
