Inspectopedia 2025.2 Help

Anonymous function

Reports an anonymous function. An explicit name of a function expression may be helpful for debugging. Ignores function expressions without names if they have a name property specified in the ECMAScript 6 standard. For example, var bar = function() {}; is not reported.
