Arrow functions were introduced in ES6 Javascript. We use Arrow functions to write shorter function syntax (For ex. let myFunction = (a, b) => a * b;).Arrow functions have a simple (concise) or the usual block body. Only a single expression is specified in a concise body, which becomes the implicit return value. You must use a return statement in a block body. 


You can remove the return keyword and the brackets if the function has only one statement and the statement returns a value. An arrow function expression is a compact traditional function expression with some differences and limitations in usage:  

  • In Arrow functions, this, arguments, or super, should not be used as methods. 
  • Arrow functions cannot be used as constructors. 
  • Arrow functions cannot be created as generator functions. 
  • Argument keywords can access the passed arguments in regular JavaScript functions when the function is invoked. But, the arrow function uses the arguments from the outer function. It does not have its arguments, and it. 
  • A keyword is needed. (that is, let, var, const) 
  • It is not suited for the call, apply, and bind methods, which all require setting a scope. 
  • A new keyword is not used to create a new object. 


Here is an example of how to do ES6 Arrow Functions:
