When calling a function from a module.exports function to a module.exports function it script runs it runs the function that is bring ran from module.exports then in node.js throws an error saying that the function does not exist even though it has been ran.

EDIT: This question was marked as a duplicate question, this is very wrong, the questions that were suggested were timing/action related (setTimeout and addEventListener) but this is more of a function related question. good first experience with stackoverflow
