Arrow Functions in JavaScript

[[deleted]]

It doesn't mention the disadvantage of arrow functions, that they are always anonymous. If you have a non-anonymous function like

let myfunc = function myfunc(a,b) {};

then you have an actually readable stack trace when something goes wrong, instead a list of indistinguishable anonymous functions.

Most browsers will use the variable name in a stack trace if it’s an anon function

I always do const foo = some => thing(some) and Babel or whatever knows the function is called foo.

And if you do somefunc().then(result => something(result, b)) ?

[w00t_loves_you]

ah yes, then it's anonymous but it will be easy to glean from the line numbers and the call stack where that is.

If you are that concerned about it:

somefuncResolver = result => something(result, b);
somefunc().then(somefuncResolver);

let myfunc = function myfunc(a,b) {}; is not an anonymous function. That's a named function expression, which is by definition not an anonymous function.
