The exercise tells me to write this: import {NavBar} from './NavBar.js';

However, in the question here about using {} or not, it says that I should use {} if “it is a named export with the export keyword assigned”. Well, looking inside NavBar.js that is NOT the case, the export keyword was not assigned. So can someone please explain?

I think it’s exported under the hood from Codecademy or It’s just for learning purposes as they still haven’t explained export in this lesson so they don’t want to confuse you by writing it.

but sure in your environment, you need to export your objects before importing them.
