Answer 1

The export statement is used to export functions, objects or primitives from a given file (or module).

Named Exports This is a named export in ES6 javascript

export const foo

which is imported like:

import { foo } from 'path'

Default Export This is a default export (This can be imported using any name)

export default foo
