What is the meaning and use of this file "reportWebVitals.js" in a react app? [duplicate]

Question

Out of curiosity and finding ways to understand how reactjs works. I want to know the use of this file in a react boilerplate app. I am new to react.

const reportWebVitals = onPerfEntry => {
  if (onPerfEntry && onPerfEntry instanceof Function) {
    import('web-vitals').then(({ getCLS, getFID, getFCP, getLCP, getTTFB }) => {
      getCLS(onPerfEntry);
      getFID(onPerfEntry);
      getFCP(onPerfEntry);
      getLCP(onPerfEntry);
      getTTFB(onPerfEntry);
    });
  }
};

export default reportWebVitals;

With the reportWebVitals function, you can send any of the results to an analytics endpoint to measure and track real user performance on your site.
