As mention in document https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Functions/Arrow_functions
Arrow functions do not have prototype property
but when I run this on fiddle, why does it gives an object
?

Why it is giving a object?
var Foo = () => {};
console.log(Foo.prototype);
If you run this code in a native ES6 engine, there will not be a
prototype
property for arrow functions.Example of native ES6:
However, if the code is being transpiled to ES5 code, it will not be a true arrow function, and it will have a
prototype
property.Example of ES6 being transpiled with Babel:
(Babel is enabled for this snippet)
In the case of
es6console.com
, a transpiler is being used, which is why you are seeing this behavior.
