Im trying to setup an express api for my application and using functions i've already defined in another js file for my api calls.

When I try running this post request i get the error

date is not a function name

I figured there's something wrong with the way im importing my functions and using them

this is how I did the import and used the function

const {captures,date} =require ("..\\..\\captures.js");
module.exports={
   visualtest:function(req,res){
        captures("C:\\Users\\rami.benromdhane\\Desktop\\dh_automation_test_suites\\json\\report1.json","ref","..\\static\\captures",date(req.body.report1));
        captures(req.body.report2,test,"..\\static\\captures",date(req.body.report2));
        
        
}
}

this is how my functions or defined in captures.js

 function captures(reportjson,testorref,resultpath,date){...}
function date(report){...}

I tried using import from instead of require but then i get the error can t use import statement outside of module
