typescript箭头函数参数,在ES6 / Typescript中使用带箭头功能的_（下划线）变量

I came across this construct in an Angular example and I wonder why this is chosen:

_ => console.log('Not using any parameters');

I understand that the variable _ means don't care/not used but since it is the only variable is there any reason to prefer the use of _ over:

() => console.log('Not using any parameters');

Surely this can't be about one character less to type. The () syntax conveys the intent better in my opinion and is also more type specific because otherwise I think the first example should have looked like this:

(_: any) => console.log('Not using any parameters');

In case it matters, this was the context where it was used:

submit(query: string): void {

this.router.navigate(['search'], { queryParams: { query: query } })

.then(_ => this.search());

}

The reason why this style can be used (and possibly why it was used here) is that _ is one character shorter than ().

Optional parentheses fall into the same style issue as optional curly brackets. This is a matter of taste and code style for the most part, but verbosity is favoured here because of consistency.

While arrow functions allow a single parameter without parentheses, it is inconsistent with zero, single destructured, single rest and multiple parameters:

let zeroParamFn = () => { ... };

let oneParamFn = param1 => { ... };

let oneParamDestructuredFn = ([param1]) => { ... };

let twoParamsFn = (param1, param2) => { ... };

let restParamsFn = (...params) => { ... };

Although is declared but never used error was fixed in TypeScript 2.0 for underscored parameters, _ can also trigger unused variable/parameter warning from a linter or IDE. This is a considerable argument against doing this.

_ can be conventionally used for ignored parameters (as the other answer already explained). While this may be considered acceptable, this habit may result in a conflict with _ Underscore/Lodash namespace, also looks confusing when there are multiple ignored parameters. For this reason it is beneficial to have properly named underscored parameters (supported in TS 2.0), also saves time on figuring out function signature and why the parameters are marked as ignored (this defies the purpose of _ parameter as a shortcut):

let fn = (param1, _unusedParam2, param3) => { ... };

For the reasons listed above, I would personally consider _ => { ... } code style a bad tone that should be avoided.
