Function Scoped Variables vs let const
Developers should learn function scoped variables to write cleaner, more maintainable code by avoiding global namespace pollution and unintended variable modifications meets developers should use let and const in modern javascript projects to write cleaner, more maintainable code with explicit scoping. Here's our take.
Function Scoped Variables
Developers should learn function scoped variables to write cleaner, more maintainable code by avoiding global namespace pollution and unintended variable modifications
Function Scoped Variables
Nice PickDevelopers should learn function scoped variables to write cleaner, more maintainable code by avoiding global namespace pollution and unintended variable modifications
Pros
- +This is crucial in scenarios like building modular applications, where functions need independent state, or in event handlers and callbacks to prevent data leakage
- +Related to: block-scoped-variables, variable-hoisting
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
let const

- +Related to: javascript, ecmascript-6
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Function Scoped Variables if: You want this is crucial in scenarios like building modular applications, where functions need independent state, or in event handlers and callbacks to prevent data leakage and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use let const if: You prioritize use let for variables that need reassignment (e over what Function Scoped Variables offers.
