What is hoisting?
Hoisting is the default behavior of moving all the declarations at the top of the scope before code execution.
Guide
Valid snippet because of Hoisting
console.log('a', getItem()); // Function getItem is accessible even before it is declared. Function & variable declarations are always hoisted in JS. function getItem ( ) { return { a: 10 }; }
Hoisting won't work
console.log('a', getItem()); // Functions, variables declared using const & let keywords are never hoisted. Copilation error will be encountered. const getItem = ( ) => { return { a: 10 }; }
