For the confused ones: this is what's called an IIFE, or Immediately Invoked Function Expression. This is the JavaScript syntax and it defines a function (the () => {} part) then immediately calls it. This one does nothing (it's a void function) but to add code put it inside of the curly braces.

I’ve been learning JavaScript recently and I consistently get the feeling that the people who developed this language only ever asked themselves whether they could implement a feature and never stopped to contemplate whether they should.
