ESLint config for React Native

Last verified Sep 9, 2026 against @react-native-community/eslint-config@3.2.0.

@react-native-community/eslint-config ships CommonJS only. require("@react-native-community/eslint-config") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. import "@react-native-community/eslint-config" 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.

## What to do

1. require("@react-native-community/eslint-config") 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 eslintConfig from "@react-native-community/eslint-config"; then destructure. Named imports only work when Node.js can statically detect the exports.
3. TypeScript: no types are available for @react-native-community/eslint-config; declare the module yourself if you need them.
