Node error: {function} is not a function?

Question

JSON Web Token

This function is defined in the generateJWTAccessToken file :

const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');

module.exports  = function generateJWTAccessToken(data, time = '6h', algo = 'HS256', secret){
       return  jwt.sign({data,}, secret, {expiresIn:time , algorithm:algo});
}

This is where the function is used:

const {generateJWTAccessToken} = require('../tokensJwt/generateJwtToken');

const jwtAccessToken =  generateJWTAccessToken(user.email, "7h", "HS256",  secret.secretWordJwtAccess);
res.status(200).json({message:`welcome back ${req.body.login}, ${jwtAccessToken}`});

Gives an error: TypeError: generateJWTAccessToken is not a function
What's the problem here?

Answer 1

const generateJWTAccessToken = require('../tokensJwt/generateJwtToken');
