How do I destructure width and height if they have been declared before?

function test() {
  let height
  let width

  const viewBox = '0 0 24 24'
  const sizeArr = viewBox.split(' ')

  // ESLint is telling me to destructure these and I don't know how
  width = sizeArr[2]
  height = sizeArr[3]
}

You can use a comma to ignore certain elements of the array that you do not need:

const [,,width,height] = sizeArr;


function test() {
  const viewBox = '0 0 24 24'
  const sizeArr = viewBox.split(' ')
  const [,,width,height]=sizeArr;
  console.log(width,height);
}
test();

If you need to keep the let declarations at the top of the function for some reason, you can remove the const from destructuring. Note that you will need a semicolon at the end of the preceding line due to automatic semicolon insertion.

[,,width,height] = sizeArr;


function test() {
  let height;
  let width;
  const viewBox = '0 0 24 24';
  const sizeArr = viewBox.split(' ');
  [,,width,height]=sizeArr;
  console.log(width,height);
}
test();

If you do need every value, declare a name for each one:

const [var1,var2,width,height] = sizeArr;


function test() {
  const viewBox = '0 0 24 24'
  const sizeArr = viewBox.split(' ')
  const [var1,var2,width,height]=sizeArr;
  console.log(var1,var2,width,height);
}
test();

const [first, second, width, height] = sizeArr;

You can simply destructure the array into the already-declared variables:

let height;
let width;

const viewBox = '0 0 24 24';
const sizeArr = viewBox.split(' ');

[width, height] = sizeArr.slice(2);

let [,,width,height] = arr;
console.log('%s %s', width, height);
