Is @angular/http ESM-only? Can you require() it?

CommonJS CommonJS — require() works on every Node.js version we test

@angular/http ships CommonJS only. require("@angular/http") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. import "@angular/http" also works because Node.js and Bun can import CommonJS from ES modules, but only the default export is guaranteed; named imports depend on Node's static analysis of the module.

It also declares a "module" field, so bundlers such as webpack, Vite and esbuild pick up an ESM build for tree-shaking.

What to do

  1. require("@angular/http") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun.
  2. From ES modules use the default import: import http from "@angular/http"; then destructure. Named imports only work when Node.js can statically detect the exports.
  3. TypeScript: types are bundled; install nothing extra.
  4. This package is deprecated: Package no longer supported. Use @angular/common instead, see https://angular.io/guide/deprecations#angularhttp

import http from "@angular/http";

Named imports from a CommonJS package only work when Node.js can statically detect them. If a named import fails, use the default import and destructure.

CommonJS (require)

const http = require("@angular/http");

Module format by version

Derived from the type, main and exports fields of every stable release on npm, corrected where a runtime test of that version contradicted them (122 versions; the newest 60 shown).
