javascript starnage issue , return undefined if block statements are used

Question

function ok(){

return 
   { 
     home : "OK"
    };

}

when i code like this the function will return undefined

but if i just shift the { it starts working

function ok(){

return { 
     home : "OK"
    };

}

Is this somekind of auto adding ';' at the end of line ?

Yes, the engine is adding ';' at the end so you have a nice 'return;' — Sergeon, Oct 18 '16 at 13:11

Javascript engines insert semicolons at certain newline positions. So, your first code is really this:

return; 
    { 
       home : "OK"
    };

And it returns nothing.
