as in i have a areaOfSquare function that id like to call. its not a component and should never be called directly by the front end
every file is serversided default
Answer
"use client" at the top transforms it into clientside
so if u create a file named -> helper.ts this will be available securely on the server
If u want to go a extra step more secure, i would suggest importing server-only at the top to make sure not to accidentally expose something on the client
