This question already has an answer here:
- What's the meaning of “=>” (an arrow formed from equals & greater than) in JavaScript? 12 answers
I am reading this explanation in order to get a better understanding of ES6.
In the bit about Enhanced Object Literals, this is given as example code:
var obj = {
... (removed as not relevant) ...
// Computed (dynamic) property names
[ 'prop_' + (() => 42)() ]: 42
};
I understand what is happening except for the last sentence
I get that
: 42
Is the value (Number) that will be given to the property, and that
[ 'prop_' + ... ]
Is a dynamic variable name that starts with the string prop_.
However, what does this mean/do?
(() => 42)()
