Describe the bug
When trying to generate JS code for an HTTP method which requires a body (PUT-POST-PATCH) the code generation won't work. It won't change the content of the output generated code text-area.
In case JS was the latest selected method the "generate code" window won't even open

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Go to https://hoppscotch.io/
Change HTTP method to any of the described(like POST)
Click on "show the code" to open the code generator
Select any of the two JavaScript generators, you'll realize the textarea's content didn't change
(Optional) Close the code generation tool and try opening it again, it won't work unless you change back to a body-less method(like GET)

Expected behavior
I'd expect it to show the generated code, and even in the case it fails try not to block the code generation window from appearing again

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Windows 10
Browser: MS Edge (chromium)
Version: 85.0.564.63

Additional context
I really like this tool, keep the good job!

This issues was introduced by latest updates in codegen. An utility function import has been skipped by mistake. Pushing a fix now.
