  height: \'unknown\',
  meta: { one: \'1\', two: \'2\'}
};

Adding my 2 cents to Ivan Nosov answer:

In my case I needed many keys to be 'sliced' out of the object so it's becoming ugly very fast and not a very dynamic solution:

const object = { a: 5, b: 6, c: 7, d: 8, aa: 5, bb: 6, cc: 7, dd: 8, aaa: 5, bbb: 6, ccc: 7, ffffd: 8, ab: 5, bc: 6, cd: 7, de: 8  };
const picked = (({ a, aa, aaa, ab, c, cc, ccc, cd }) => ({ a, aa, aaa, ab, c, cc, ccc, cd }))(object);

console.log(picked);

So here is a dynamic solution using eval:

const slice = (k, o) => eval(`(${k} => ${k})(o)`);


const object    = { a: 5, b: 6, c: 7, d: 8, aa: 5, bb: 6, cc: 7, dd: 8, aaa: 5, bbb: 6, ccc: 7, ffffd: 8, ab: 5, bc: 6, cd: 7, de: 8  };
const sliceKeys = '({ a, aa, aaa, ab, c, cc, ccc, cd })';

console.log( slice(sliceKeys, object) );
