# Is ant-design-vue ESM-only? Can you require() it?

> ant-design-vue@4.2.6 is a CommonJS package. CommonJS — require() works on every Node.js version we test.

An enterprise-class UI design language and Vue-based implementation

Latest version 4.2.6, published Nov 11, 2024.

ant-design-vue ships CommonJS only. require("ant-design-vue") should work on every Node.js version the package supports (>=12.22.0); the runtime probe has not run for this version. import "ant-design-vue" 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("ant-design-vue") should work on every Node.js version the package supports (>=12.22.0); the runtime probe has not run for this version.
2. From ES modules use the default import: import antDesignVue from "ant-design-vue"; then destructure. Named imports only work when Node.js can statically detect the exports.
3. TypeScript: types are bundled; install nothing extra.
