WHAT IS EXPORT FUNCTION?
Export function is used to expose
functions defined in one module
(file) so they can be used in other
modules.
You can use import in another LWC
component to include and use
these exported functions.
This practice promotes reusability,
modularity, and cleaner code,
especially when you have utility
functions that can be shared across
multiple components.
By using export function, you make
your codebase more organized and
maintainable, as you don't need to
duplicate logic across components.
Instead, shared utilities are stored in
a single place.

HOW IT WORKS
import { overrideOpt } from
'./utilityclass';: This imports the
overrideOpt function from
utilityclass.js.
connectedCallback(): This is a
lifecycle hook in LWC that is called
when the component is inserted into
the DOM. Inside this method, the
overrideOpt function is called to fetch
the list of options, which are then
stored in the options property.
lightning-combobox: This LWC base
component displays the options
returned by the overrideOpt function.
