What is the difference between default and named imports?

Can you explain the difference between default and named imports in JavaScript?

Sure! In JavaScript, default imports allow you to import a single value or object from a module, while named imports let you import multiple specific values.

Can you give me an example of each?

Of course! For default imports, you might have import myFunction from './myModule';. For named imports, it would look like import { myFunction, myVariable } from './myModule';.

What happens if I try to use a named import for a default export?

If you try to use a named import for a default export, it will result in an error because the default export does not have a name associated with it.

Thanks! Is there a scenario where one is preferred over the other?

Yes, default imports are great for modules that export a single main functionality, while named imports are useful when you want to import multiple specific items from a module.
