How do I call a function which is stored in an other function?

I created two js files (File A and File B). In file A I created a function called "getFiles" and I would like to call this function in File B.

File A:

export function getFiles(input){

    ...

}

File B:

import {getFiles} = from './A.js';



getFiles('');

But I'm getting the error message "Module '"./A.js"' has no exported member 'getFiles'."

Does anyone know how I can call the function in File B?

In the js File A I had to create a class to be able to export the function.
The class had to be exported with "module.exports"

module.exports = class A {

    getFiles(input) {

        ...

    }

}

And now in File B I had to add a require line to this class:

const A = require('./A.js');

And now I can call my function "getFiles" from File A:

// vscode extension function

function activate(context) {

    const a = new A();

    a.getFiles('');

}
