Welcome to forums @dazfitzg.

You cant `require` or `import` in function nodes.

Please see a recent post on how to do it [Here](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/howto-use-assert/77718)

EDIT:  
Seems you have already tried that 🤦‍♂️

> I removed the import and tried to add the module in the function node's setup tab.
