I'm trying to export a function from a Js file but recieving a Unexpected token error
const youtubeDownload = require("./youtube/youtube-download"); // export function youtubeDownload
const twitterDonwload = require("./twitter/twitter-download"); // export function twitterDownload
function download(tweet) {
if(tweet.in_reply_to_status_id_str == null) return youtubeDownload(tweet);
if(tweet.in_reply_to_status_id_str != null) return twitterDonwload(tweet);
};
export { download };
This code is returning the error:
export { download };
^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'
It's because you are using CommonJS modules by default in NodeJS. CommonJS modules doesn't support export syntax. So you may need to use CommonJS export syntax for this.
const youtubeDownload = require("./youtube/youtube-download"); // export function youtubeDownload
const twitterDonwload = require("./twitter/twitter-download"); // export function twitterDownload
function download(tweet) {
if(tweet.in_reply_to_status_id_str == null) return youtubeDownload(tweet);
if(tweet.in_reply_to_status_id_str != null) return twitterDonwload(tweet);
};
module.exports = { download };
Or if you really wants to use export syntax, you can use ES6 modules as here:

use module.exports={download} to export
use const {download}=require('<yourfilepath>') to import
