Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 22,378 PointsYes, most things in JavaScript are actully objects.
The Data.js file is exporting the Data (Class) object. It will be used in Context.js (can wait or preview the completed files)
It's a helper Class (much like a helper function).
You can check out this post on Stack for some more info as well and how it's used in the wild:
