ES6 arrow functions not working in Workpress Gutenberg React

Question

I am working within a Wordpress Gutenberg environment and have not been able to use arrow functions because they are assigning the function text to the const. See the following example:

        let selectedTable = getTable(table_id, tableStatus);
        if (selectedTable === undefined) {
            const newTableId = getNewTableIdByBlock(block_table_ref);
            selectedTable = getTable(newTableId, tableStatus);
    
        }
        return selectedTable;
    };
    
    console.log(table);

      let selectedTable = getTable(table_id, tableStatus);
      if (selectedTable === undefined) {
