Dual (CommonJS + ESM) Dual package — require() works on every Node.js version we test; import works too
@jest/expect-utils publishes both a CommonJS entry and a native ESM entry (ESM added in 30.0.0). require("@jest/expect-utils") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. The package declares Node.js ^18.14.0 || ^20.0.0 || ^22.0.0 || >=24.0.0. import "@jest/expect-utils" works alongside it.
What to do
- Nothing to change. require("@jest/expect-utils") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. The package declares Node.js ^18.14.0 || ^20.0.0 || ^22.0.0 || >=24.0.0. import * as expectUtils from "@jest/expect-utils" works alongside it; use named imports for what the ESM entry exports.
- TypeScript: types are bundled; install nothing extra.
