How to call inner functions from one JavaScript file to another JavaScript file in WebStorm? (except using module.exports)

I tried using module.exports as well but it's not detecting module.exports in my WebStorm. So, how to enable module.exports in WebStorm? Another thing is I am trying to get function from another js file. Something like we do inheritance in Java I am expecting here in JavaScript. below is my code:- locate.js

/** * */

var locate = function()
{

 var a = 10;

 function inner(_block)`
{
console.log( "Hello", _block+" "+a )`;
}
locate.inner = inner;
}

locate();
locate.inner( "World" );
//console.log(locate);
module.export = locate;

delocate.js

let a;
a = require('./locate.js');
console.log(a);
a.inner("Universe");` //inner is not visible gives error

a.inner("Universe");
  ^

TypeError: a.inner is not a function

Expected output should be HelloUniverse10

it can be

var locate = function() {

  var a      = 10;
  var locate = {}

  function inner(_block) {
    console.log('Hello',
      _block + ' ' + a);
  }

  locate.inner = inner;
  return locate;
}


module.exports = locate;

and 

const a = require('./locate')();
console.log(a);
a.inner("Universe");

Note that this has absolutely nothing to do with Webstorm; your code is run with Node.js, so it's all about javascript and commonJS modules syntax
