Why is ESLint rejecting this? 

let myFunc = (state) => {a:"b"};

It is saying that it expected a function or assignment call.

In ES6 arrow functions

If you use curly braces {}, you should return with a return statement.

let myFunc = (state) => {
  return { a:"b"}
}

If you use don't use braces, you should enclose the return object with round braces ().

let myFunc = (state) => ({ a:"b"})

An arrow function returning an object literal in this way is syntactically ambiguous, as it could also be a JavaScript block with the label a in it. You need to surround the literal with parens to make it clear:

let myFunc = (state) => ({a:"b"});
