Importing a Default Export

Challenge Description

In the last challenge, you learned about export default and its uses. It is important to note that, to import a default export, you need to use a different import syntax.

In the following example, we have a function, add, that is the default export of a file, "math_functions". Here is how to import it:

import add from "math_functions";
add(5,4); //Will return 9

The syntax differs in one key place-the imported value, add, is not surrounded by curly braces, {}. Unlike exported values, the primary method if importing a default export is to simply write the value's name after import.

Instructions

In the following code, please import the default export, subtract, from the file "math_functions", found in the same directory as this file.

Challenge Seed

subtract(7,4);

Challenge Tests

assert(code.match(/import\s+subtract\s+from\s+"math_functions"/ig))

Challenge Solution

import subtract from "math_functions";
subtract(7,4);
