Examples of Arrow Functions in JS

Arrow functions offer concise and efficient syntax for writing functions, making code cleaner and more readable while avoiding issues with 'this' binding.

Basic Arrow Function

const sayHello = () => {
  console.log("Hello!");
};

sayHello();
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Arrow Function With a Single Parameter

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
const doubledNumbers = numbers.map(num => num * 2);

console.log(doubledNumbers); // [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Arrow Function With Multiple Parameters

const add = (a, b) => a + b;

console.log(add(3, 4)); // Output: 7
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Arrow function for Mapping an Array

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
const doubledNumbers = numbers.map(num => num * 2);

console.log(doubledNumbers); // [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Arrow Function for Filtering an Array

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
const evenNumbers = numbers.filter(num => num % 2 === 0);

console.log(evenNumbers); // Output: [2, 4]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Arrow Function With an Implicit Return

const double = num => num * 2;

console.log(double(6)); // Output: 12
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Arrow Function as a Callback

const names = ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"];
const nameLengths = names.map(name => name.length);

console.log(nameLengths); // Output: [5, 3, 7]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Arrow Function With a Default Parameter

const greet = (name = "Anonymous") => {
  console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);
};

greet(); // Output: Hello, Anonymous!
greet("John"); // Output: Hello, John!
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Arrow Function With Destructuring Parameters

const getFullName = ({ firstName, lastName }) => `${firstName} ${lastName}`;

console.log(getFullName({ firstName: "John", lastName: "Doe" })); // Output: John Doe
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Arrow Function Using The Rest Parameter

const sum = (...numbers) => numbers.reduce((acc, curr) => acc + curr);

console.log(sum(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)); // Output: 15
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Arrow Function With a Ternary Operator

const isEven = num => num % 2 === 0 ? "Even" : "Odd";

console.log(isEven(6)); // Output: Even
console.log(isEven(7)); // Output: Odd
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Arrow Function Used in setTimeout

setTimeout(() => {
  console.log("Delayed message");
}, 1000);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Arrow Function With a Conditional Statement

const getDiscountedPrice = (price, isPremiumMember) => {
  if (isPremiumMember) {
    return price * 0.8;
  } else {
    return price;
  }
};

console.log(getDiscountedPrice(100, true)); // Output: 80
console.log(getDiscountedPrice(100, false)); // Output: 100
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
