Is @jest/transform ESM-only? Can you require() it?

Last verified Sep 9, 2026 against @jest/transform@30.5.1. Markdown · JSON

Dual (CommonJS + ESM) Dual package — require() works on every Node.js version we test; import works too

@jest/transform publishes both a CommonJS entry and a native ESM entry (ESM added in 30.0.0). require("@jest/transform") 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/transform" works alongside it.

What to do

  1. Nothing to change. require("@jest/transform") 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 transform from "@jest/transform" works alongside it; use named imports for what the ESM entry exports.
  2. TypeScript: types are bundled; install nothing extra.

How to import @jest/transform

import * as transform from "@jest/transform";

Namespace import shown because the ESM entry may have no default export; use named imports for what it exports.

CommonJS (require)

const transform = require("@jest/transform");

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 (99 versions; the newest 60 shown).
