Sorry to put you on the spot Benedikt and Kirill Rogovoy Since you like coding I would love to hear your opinion on this

As I understand it your page/file has to be a react component (export a react component)

I think I figured it out. This does not work

import type { HeadFC } from 'gatsby'
import Title from './title'


export const getImagePath = (path: string, website:string) => {
if(path.includes('//')) {
return path;
}
return website + path;
}```
*But this does*
```import * as React from 'react'
import type { HeadFC } from 'gatsby'
import Title from './title'


const getImagePath = (path: string, website:string) => {
if(path.includes('//')) {
return path;
}
return website + path;
}


export default getImagePath```
What does the default mean actually?

Exactly that’s what the error meant. Default is just the default export (you can do differently named exports for modules)

what do you mean?

<https//developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/web/javascript/reference/statements/export> explains it better than I could

writen by Benedikt

A module can have many named exports (e.g. export function foo …) and, optionally, a default export (export default …)

Many frameworks like Gatsby or Next expect a page file to have a default export with the page component.
