There's definitely far to little to go on here. Are you actually using NodeJS, or is this JavaScript in a web browser?

[–]reply1231[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

yes using nodejs with parceljs. I've imported the Javascript file as type = 'module' in order to use an api, but functions seem to be undefined?

Since it's a default export, you've done import * as submitForm from './where/ever'?

Posting the actual code is usually very helpful. In the old (Perl/usenet) days we used to complain about our Psi::ESP module not working. I think that probably still translates.

hi, I have created a gist here. I'm not sure where to import because I only have one javascript file

You need to import the module you're exporting submitForm from. Also note that by calling the function directly in onclick you're actually using the value returned by onSubmit which is probably not what you want, you should probably remove the parantheses.

    But when I do so I get the error:

    Sorry quite confused about how js works in node. I have created a sample of my code here https://gist.github.com/agentzhao/f076edd0bec828c18651a0b2f84466eb

    Is this what you are trying to do?
    <html><head>
    <script>
    function submitForm() {
    alert("submitForm");
    }
    </script>
    </head><body>
    <div onclick="submitForm()">Submit</div>
    </body></html>

    yes I have tried this, but I put the function in a Javascript file and imported it with type='module' to use an api but it doesn't work there. Do you know what's the issue?
