why use arrow functions in javascript code example

Example 1: js anonymous function es6

// (param1, param2, paramN) => expression

// ES5
var multiplyES5 = function(x, y) {
  return x * y;
};

// ES6
const multiplyES6 = (x, y) => { return x * y };

Example 2: javascript arrow function

// Non Arrow (standard way)
let add = function(x,y) {
  return x + y;
}
console.log(add(10,20)); // 30

// Arrow style
let add = (x,y) => x + y;
console.log(add(10,20)); // 30;

// You can still encapsulate
let add = (x, y) => { return x + y; };

Example 3: es6 arrow function

//ES5
var phraseSplitterEs5 = function phraseSplitter(phrase) {
  return phrase.split(' ');
};

//ES6
const phraseSplitterEs6 = phrase => phrase.split(" ");

console.log(phraseSplitterEs6("ES6 Awesomeness"));  // ["ES6", "Awesomeness"]

Example 4: es6 arrow function

// ES6
const prices = smartPhones.map(smartPhone => smartPhone.price);
console.log(prices); // [649, 576, 489]
