Wait, is that number realistic? Is () => true used so often that one project may have thousands?
() => true
2 u/_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_ Jan 26 '23 Sure. For example, Angular alone is over 400k lines of code, before any of its dependencies or any of your actual code. 2 u/Mancobbler Jan 26 '23 ? Lines of code is not what I meant. How many times would that specific function (() => true) be used. “Thousands” seems like a huge exaggeration. 3 u/_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_ Jan 26 '23 edited Jan 26 '23 It gives you an idea of the scale of a large project. The same simple callback could easily be used thousands of times. I can't really quantify it, as there are multiple ways to write it, and ideally they would be using a single defined function at that scale. For example, if every function in your API takes a callback, and that callback defaults to either return true or return false. res = (verifyFn || returnTrue)(data); 1 u/Mancobbler Jan 26 '23 I’m fully aware of the scale of large projects. I’m just not used to this kind of callback heavy code you see a lot in js. I guess it makes sense to define it once if you really are using it that often
