They are equivalent (for the most part) - your first example uses [`arrow functions`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Functions/Arrow_functions) – Matt Oestreich Dec 14 '19 at 22:16

The first one is often used in ES6. https://engineering.carsguide.com.au/es5-vs-es6-syntax-6c8350fa6998 – node_modules Dec 14 '19 at 22:17

Look up difference between old standard function closure and new arrow function syntax. – Akxe Dec 14 '19 at 22:17
