JS: How do I use an initialized class in another file?

I am looking to use an already logged-in twitter client from my index.js file by exporting it and then simply calling it for use in another js file, I'll just call it file2.js

index.js:

const twit = require('twit');  const TwitterClient = new twit({        consumer_key: `${process.env.TWITTER_KEY}`,      consumer_secret: `${process.env.TWITTER_SECRET}`,      access_token: `${process.env.TWITTER_TOKEN}`,      access_token_secret: `${process.env.TWITTER_TOKENSECRET}`,      timeout_ms: 60 * 1000,      strictSSL: true  })    module.exports = TwitterClient;  

file2.js:

const { TwitterClient } = require('../../index')    TwitterClient.get('users/lookup', { screen_name: 'Plexversal' }).then(a => {      console.log(a)  })  

From what I have already tried to research this should be what I do, the path to the index file is correct as I can see the exported class when I hover over it so I know that's not the issue.

The error that I get from file2 is:

Cannot read property 'get' of undefined

The exact same function works in the index file and I tried the most basic of methods to get some kind of output with no luck so the syntax is valid. I just want to know what i'm missing.

Thanks.
