# Overriding JavaScript

When developing a ScandiPWA-based theme, you have the ability to override any JavaScript file and its exports. To override a JavaScript file, create a new file in your theme `src` directory matching the path of the file you want to override. For example, if you want to override the theme file in `component/ProductCard/ProductCard.component.js`, create a file with the same path in your theme's source directory, `src`:

{% code title="override: component/ProductCard/ProductCard.component.js" %}

```jsx
import { PureComponent } from 'react';

export class ProductCard extends PureComponent {
    render() {
        return (
            <p>
                We have overridden the ProductCard component!
            </p>
        );
    }
}

export default ProductCard;
```

{% endcode %}

Now, any import using the alias `Component/ProductCard/Component/ProductCard.component` will resolve to your newly-created file. Indeed, if you check the product list page, you will see the updated component:

![](/files/-MNcQWobHmjVNubImvU3)

## Detailed overriding examples

Despite the general rule being simple, it is important to learn more details. See the detailed guide on overriding class-based and non-class-based files below.
