Understand the Differences Between import and require

Let's clarify: require() loads the entire file and its components (functions, variables), while import _ from allows you to hand-pick what components you want.

In this lesson, you are tasked at importing the function capitalizeStrings(), which comes from the file "string-functions".

Hint 1:

Fill in the blanks: import { function_name } from "file_name". Your function name is capitalizeStrings, and your file name is "string-functions".

Spoiler Alert - Solution Ahead!

Solution

"use strict";
import { capitalizeString } from "string-functions";
capitalizeString("hello!");
