Node modules are not exporting

my node modules are not importing. I tried in export default and export const and each and every way. every each times I get either reference error or a syntax error.

I get reference error when i update my code like below.(ReferenceError: require is not defined)

const viewEngine = require( './config/viewEngine');

I get syntax error when i update my code like below.(SyntaxError: The requested module './config/viewEngine' does not provide an export named 'default')

import viewEngine from './config/viewEngine';

I get syntax error when i update my code like below.(SyntaxError: The requested module './config/viewEngine' does not provide an export named 'viewEngine')

import {viewEngine} from './config/viewEngine';

and the ways i tried to export:

  1. module.exports = configViewEngine;
  2. module.exports = {configViewEngine};

and my dotenv is not getting defined. I tried every each ways to import dotenv too.

here is my package.json.
