Unexpected Token but not sure as to why

Question

I'm not sure why I am getting an Unexpected Token error. I can't seem to see the error. Unless

Line 41 is: }.bind(this), right after this.setState

ERROR in ./app/views/components/navbar.js

Answer 1

I'm surprised by the error, though I notice that ArrowFunction is an AssignmentExpression whereas FunctionExpression is a PrimaryExpression (spec), so arrow function expressions aren't direct drop-ins for function function expressions. Still surprised.

Two options for you:

1. You don't need those .bind(this) calls. Arrow functions close over the this in the context where they're created (just like closing over a variable). So you can solve the error simply by removing those bind calls.

   Example:

   var foo = {
     name: "foo",
     doSomething() {
       setTimeout(() => {
         log("this.name = " + this.name);
       }, 0);
     }
   };
   foo.doSomething();
   
   function log(msg) {
     var p = document.createElement('p');
     p.appendChild(document.createTextNode(msg));
     document.body.appendChild(p);
   }

2. Alternately, if you needed bind (perhaps to curry arguments; the this part will be ignored), put parens around the arrow function:

   $.ajax({
       success: ((response) => {
   // ----------^
       }).bind(null, arg0, arg1/*...*/)
   // --^      ^^^^-- will be ignored, arrow functions inherit `this`
   });
   

   Example:

   var foo = {
     name: "foo",
     doSomething() {
       setTimeout(((arg) => {
     // ----------^
         log("this.name = " + this.name + ", arg = " + arg);
       }).bind(null, "bar"), 0);
     // ^      ^^^^-- ignored, could be anything
     }
   };
   foo.doSomething();
   
   function log(msg) {
     var p = document.createElement('p');
     p.appendChild(document.createTextNode(msg));
     document.body.appendChild(p);
   }
