error <function name> is not a function when importing javascript functions from another file

Question

Im trying to setup an express api for my application and using functions i've already defined in another js file for my api calls.

When I try running this post request i get the error

date is not a function name

I figured there's something wrong with the way im importing my functions and using them

this is how I did the import and used the function

const {captures,date} =require ("..\\..\\captures.js");
module.exports={
   visualtest:function(req,res){
        captures("C:\\Users\\rami.benromdhane\\Desktop\\dh_automation_test_suites\\json\\report1.json","ref","..\\static\\captures",date(req.body.report1));
        captures(req.body.report2,test,"..\\static\\captures",date(req.body.report2));
        
        
}
}

this is how my functions or defined in captures.js

 function captures(reportjson,testorref,resultpath,date){...}
function date(report){...}

I tried using import from instead of require but then i get the error can t use import statement outside of module
