Suppose you have a two files A.js and B.js

A.js

module.exports = function() {  
   var this = {};
   var that = {}; .... 
   much more code
   ....
}

Now if you want to use this in B.js then A.js is using default exports and it is exporting a function so you can use it like this.

var a = require('./A.js');
// now as A.js is exporing a function so you can call that function by invoking a() function 
// as you have inported it into variable name a
a(); // this will call that

If your function needs arguments like this module.exports = function(x, y) {

then you need can pass it like

a(1, 2);

I do not know, what you necessarily mean when you say "knowing how to import/export functions" but here is what you could do to define a function and later reuse it from another file.

test.js

module.exports = () => {
   console.log('This is a sample function')
}

use.js

const myfunc = require('./test');
myfunc(); // Would print This is a sample function

I have assumed test.js and use.js to be in the same directory.

You could also have multiple functions in a file: test.js

module.exports.fn1 = () => {
   console.log('This is sample function1')

}

module.exports.fn2 = () => {
   console.log('This is sample function2')
}

use.js

const myfunc1 = require('./test').fn1;
myfunc1(); 
console.log(require('./test').fn2); // Directly if you want

You can also read about:

• import statement which currently is not supported by NodeJs but has a way with babel.

You have two ways to export the function of a module (archive js):

1) "By default" -> If you have only to export one function or other data in the same archive. In that case, you can import with the alias you want:

export default myFunction() {...}
(In the other archive)
import alias you want(the same name or other) from `'./name_of_the_archive_to_import';

2) "Several functions or objects" -> If you have to export several functions or other data in the same archive. In that case, you have to call(import) those variables with the same name that were declared:

export variable1;
export variable2;
...
(In the other archive)
import variable1 from './name_of_the_archive_to_import';
import variable2 from './name_of_the_archive_to_import';
...
