This may be a very stupid question. But I was wondering if I should be using arrow function syntax or the classic function syntax for react components now or is this purely a style choice. I ask this purely as someone trying to work towards industry standards but have found a tremendous amount of mixed comments on it. Also is there any difference using typescript?

Example: const foo = () => {}

Or

function foo() {}

    I was doing some research and it seems like arrow function preserves ‘this’ context. Might be a reason to either classic or arrow. The overloading seems like a valuable option too.

      Good call. Yah overloading is the way to go for complex function signatures in typescript
