Not able to do import export functions in node.js project

I'm making a memory game, I want to export a function. logic.js

 function incrementAttempts(){
        attempts++;
        attemptsHolder.textContent = attempts;
        }
//Other functions-----

module.exports = {incrementAttempts}

 function incrementAttempts(){
        attempts++;
        attemptsHolder.textContent = attempts;
        }
//Other functions-----

module.exports = {incrementAttempts}

app.js

const incrementAttempts  = require('./public/logic');

const incrementAttempts  = require('./public/logic');

the app is keep crashing, i tried changing type to module in package.json, there was still no change

You're running on Node.js, which does not have access to the DOM. I would recommend looking into Vite to create something for the browser, instead.

thanks is there any other way where i dont have to use vite ?

You don't have to use Vite if you don't want to, it's just a convenience. You can use bare html, css and js files if you want to. There's also Webpack but I think that's much more complicated. To get started, it's as simple as running this on the terminal npm init vite@latest. This will give you a dev server and a few other niceties.
