Writing a function in server.js and calling it from client side (React)

Question

I want to write a function in server.js.

    export const doCreateUserWithEmailAndPassword = (email, password) =>
auth.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password);

So here, I need to get email and password from the client side. When I try to export the function in server.js and use it in client side. I got an error that said

Module not found: You attempted to import ../../../../server/products which fall outside of the project src/ directory. Relative imports outside of src/ are not supported. You can either move it inside src/, or add a symlink to it from project's node_modules/.

Is there anyway I can call a function from server side?

You need to setup API endpoints for this. Lookup how to create a REST API with nodejs to communicate between the client and server. — Jake Miller, Jun 23 '18 at 18:57

Without looking at the file structure, it's difficult to give a definitive answer, although it would seem that that your application is expecting src/ to be your root directory and the relative path is beyond that.

guesses should go into the comment section. – Jonas Wilms Jun 23 '18 at 19:01
Yes, you are correct. So there is no way to export a function from server side? – Lillian Jun 23 '18 at 19:04
Indeed, my bad. Without access to my computer, I was unable to test, and yes, it ought to be a comment on this occasion. – Lloyd Moore Jun 23 '18 at 19:05
