ECMAScript 6 arrow function that returns an object

Question

When returning an object from an arrow function, it seems that it is necessary to use an extra set of {} and a return keyword because of an ambigui

Answer 1

If the body of the arrow function is wrapped in curly braces, it is not implicitly returned. Wrap the object in parentheses. It would look something like this.

p => ({ foo: 'bar' })

By wrapping the body in parens, the function will return { foo: 'bar }.

Hopefully, that solves your problem. If not, I recently wrote an article about Arrow functions which covers it in more detail. I hope you find it useful. Javascript Arrow Functions
