How can I import another JS file (which is in the same directory) in a electron JS file

I'd like to import "new.js" inside "main.js", using const new = require("new.js"), i tried also import "./new.js", but I doesn't want to work.

This is my code if you want to see it

// Modules to control application life and create native browser window
const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
const path = require('path')

function createWindow() {
  // Create the browser window.
  const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
    width: 800,
    height: 600,
    webPreferences: {
      preload: path.join(__dirname, 'preload.js'),
      nodeIntegration: true
    }
  })

  // and load the index.html of the app.
  mainWindow.loadFile('index.htm')

  // Open the DevTools.
  // mainWindow.webContents.openDevTools()
}

// This method will be called when Electron has finished
// initialization and is ready to create browser windows.
// Some APIs can only be used after this event occurs.
app.whenReady().then(() => {
  createWindow()

  app.on('activate', function () {
    // On macOS it's common to re-create a window in the app when the
    // dock icon is clicked and there are no other windows open.
    if (BrowserWindow.getAllWindows().length === 0) createWindow()
  })
})

// Quit when all windows are closed.
app.on('window-all-closed', function () {
  // On macOS it is common for applications and their menu bar
  // to stay active until the user quits explicitly with Cmd + Q
  if (process.platform !== 'darwin') app.quit()
})
// In this file you can include the rest of your app's specific main process
// code. You can also put them in separate files and require them here.
//password

i hope you can help me, please do NOT judge my coding skills, i am still learning. Anyway here there is my html and css code too.

input[type=submit] {

}
/* IDs */
#password {text-align: center}
#whoAreyou{text-align: center}
/*

*/

I hope everything of my code is clear to you.

We need to see the content of your new.js file and how you're exporting the module first.

Ensure you're exporting the content you need using module.exports

For example

new.js

const newObj = { a: 5, b:6 };
module.exports = newObj;

main.js

const importedObj = require('./new.js');
console.log(importedObj);
// will output { a: 5, b:6 }
