Answer 1

You are trying to use edituser method of EditUserComponent as a static method in edituser method of PrintUserComponent . Simplified your code looks like this:

import EditUserComponent from './edit-user';
console.log(EditUserComponent.edituser(id,firstname,lastname,mailid));

You aren't calling edituser method on an instance of the class but on the class itself. Maybe you are looking for a good old utility function instead?

// app/utils/edituser.js

async function edituser (id,firstname,lastname,mailid){
    alert("edit-user.js entered");
    let response=await fetch("/UserManagement/UserManagementServlet",
    {   method: "POST",
        body: JSON.stringify({
            "type": "edit",
            "id": id,
            "firstname":firstname,
            "lastname":lastname,
            "mailid":mailid
        })
    });
}

export default edituser;

That utility function could be used like this:

import edituser from '../utils/edituser';
console.log(edituser(id,firstname,lastname,mailid));

Components should only be invoked in templates. So they are for sure not what you want.
