JS ⟩ declaration ⟩ function ⟩ function in block (FiB)

Don't use function (declaration) in block❗

a function declaration defined in a block.

• sloppy mode: hoisted / initialized to undefined (outside block)

• strict mode: local to the block.

⭐️ 重點

JS spec says that "function declaration in block is block-scoped" ❗

However, in most browser-based JS engines (including v8)：

• the identifier of the FiB is scoped outside the block

• with its value initialized to undefined.

  • can be considered as a redeclaration

    • if there's already a function with the same name in the outer scope

    • the (re)assignment is not applied until the block is run❗

• in strict mode：

  • is local to the block❗

  • never is a redeclaration any more❗
