  • One creates a function which does X when you call it. The other just does X now. – Quentin Jul 24 '20 at 07:42

  • `this.isEditable(applied)` returns a function. `this.isEditable(applied)(params)` calls `this.isEditable()` and immediately executes the returned function passing it `params` – Andreas Jul 24 '20 at 07:44

Well, you only showed a small snippet, but I suspect it's something along the lines as

     
    {// Some object is being constructed...
       editable: params => this.isEditable(applied)(params)
    }

Which is an ES6 "arrow function expression", which returns some other function, as the return value of calling isEditable.

     //Some object is being constructed...
    {
       editable: function ( params ){
              return this.isEditable(applied)(params)
       },
       // More properties being defined...
    }
