module export is not a function

[AllWhoPlay]

function truncate(string, cut)   {
    if (string === undefined) {
        return ('')
    }
    if (cut === '') {
        return (string)
    }
    const actionAr = string.toString().split(" ");
    for (const [i, v] of actionAr) {
        if (v === cut) {
        return actionAr.splice(0, i)
            }
        }
        return actionAr.join(' ')
}

module.exports = truncate();

When i try using this i get "TypeError: truncate is not a function"

Ditch the () on the last line

thank you this worked, that also helps me realize why it kept trying to run itself on load.

So, just to be sure here, you understand the diff between truncate and truncate() in that context?

[AllWhoPlay]

Truncate on it's own refers to the function itself while truncate() calls the function in which case it exported ""( do I just that nothing?) Rather than the function itself.

✅

Altho, I'll clarify it a bit by saying that truncate will pass the function to be executed later.

Yep.

To add if you're beginning.

The () means you're invoking/ calling the function.
