Thanks for clearing up my question Gordon and yegon kiprotich!

Answer 4

Arrow functions shine best with anything that requires 👉 ’this’ to be bound to the context, and not the function itself.

It is important to note that arrow functions are anonymous, which means that they are not named.

YOU should not use Arrow functions
1) Object methods
2) Callback functions with dynamic context.
3) when it makes your code less readable.

thanks,
Happy Coding

Answer 5

Arrow functions works well for callback functions. In general, I find arrow functions more succinct and easy to work with.
