The code snippet product => product.id === id
is a JavaScript arrow function. Here's what it does:
- It defines a function with one argument,
product
. - Inside the function, it checks whether the
id
property of theproduct
object is strictly equal (===
) to the variableid
.
This function is typically used as a predicate (a function that returns a boolean value) in array operations like .find()
, .filter()
, or similar methods. For instance:
const products = [
{ id: 1, name: "Laptop" },
{ id: 2, name: "Phone" },
];
const id = 2;
// Using the arrow function with .find() to locate a product with id === 2
const result = products.find(product => product.id === id);
console.log(result); // { id: 2, name: "Phone" }
In this example, the function product => product.id === id
checks each product in the products
array to see if its id
matches the variable id
(which is 2
), and .find()
returns the first matching product.
