I have a button and I want it to execute a function when I click it but for some reason it isn't working at all. I think there might be a problem with how I am linking the button to my js file. Here's my HTML: 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang = "en-us"></html>
   <head>
      <script src = "spotifybot.js" charset = "utf-8"></script>
      <title>Spotify Login</title>
   </head>
   <body>
      <button id = "login" style = "width: 100px;height: 100px">Login To Spotify</button>
   </body>
</html>

And here's my js file: 

const loginButton = document.getElementById("login").addEventListener('click', loginToSpotify());
const request = require("request");

function loginToSpotify()
{
   console.log("Here");
}

Both the files are in the same folder btw in case you thought that might be the problem.

EDIT: After checking the browser console (I thought I'd be able to check my visual studio console but obviously not), I found the error to be with the "require" keyword
