why not use import statements in backend aswell?

When I do a console.log in connect.js as:

module.exports = {
connectToServer: async () => {
database = await client.db('BlogData')
console.log(database)
},
getDb: () => {
return database
},
}

I notice this -
namespace: MongoDBNamespace { db: 'BlogData', collection: undefined }
As a result my posts are not working.
