Display current year using external javascript

I'm having trouble updating the current year using js from an external file. The year in the html doesn't update to display the current year. Here's my html code;

<p>
    Copyright &copy; <span id="year">year</span>. All rights reseverved.
</p>

<script src="./js/shared.js"></script>

And here's my js code;

const year = document.querySelector('#year');

function date() {
    year.innerHTML = new Date()
};

What am I doing wrong here, and what's the right way to achieve my goal?

Just try to add function invocation:

  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(){
      const year = document.querySelector('#year');

      function date() {
         year.innerHTML = new Date().getFullYear();
      };

      date();
  }
