How to convert require( "./handlers/event.js")(client) in es6?

Question

I want to convert require( "./handlers/event.js")(client) to es6 but can't find how to do it.

Does this answer your question? [The difference between "require(x)" and "import x"](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46677752/the-difference-between-requirex-and-import-x) — Ahmed Shaqanbi, Dec 17 '21 at 17:46

That line is importing from a module that looks like this

module.exports = function(client) {
  this.newClient = function() {
    var x = client()
    // ...
  }
}

Which in ES6 would look like this

export default function(client) {
  this.newClient = function() {
    var x = client()
    // ...
  }
  return this
}

For importing that in an ES6 way, should be something like

import FOO from "./handlers/event"

And then you can do something like

const { newClient } = FOO(new Client())
const p = newClient() // or anything you want to do with it
