The issue you are running into is because `require` is specific to Node.js which implements the CommonJS module system. Client-side JavaScript typically doesn't recognize `require` unless you're using a module bundler like Webpack or Browserify. If you want to use modules on the client side without these tools, you might consider using ES6 modules, which are supported by most modern browsers.
Here's how you can use ES6 modules in your client-side code:
First, make sure to declare your JavaScript file as a module by using the `type="module"` attribute in your script tag. For example:
In your `messages.js`, you would export the functions you want to use elsewhere:
Then, in your `client.js`, you can import these functions:
This should solve the `require` issue on the client side.

Code:
// messages.js
export function showMessage(msg) {
console.log(msg);
}
// Export other functions as neededThen, in your `client.js`, you can import these functions:
Code:
// client.js
import * as m from './messages.js';
m.showMessage('This is a message from the messages module.');This should solve the `require` issue on the client side.
