Alias a Function in JavaScript

While simple, today I used this trick to write the code I wanted. Variable assignment of a function is a valid, communicative way to alias a function in JavaScript. const clearFilters = () => setFilters({}); // Use the same behavior when starting a new search. const startNewSearch = clearFilters; // These create the same result. clearFilters(); startNewSearch(); In this case, calling clearFilters didn’t fit with a click handler on a button labeled “Start New Search.” With this technique, was able to call the function I wanted, abstracting its implementation.
