Last verified Sep 9, 2026 against babel-plugin-transform-react-remove-prop-types@0.4.24.

babel-plugin-transform-react-remove-prop-types ships CommonJS only. require("babel-plugin-transform-react-remove-prop-types") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. import "babel-plugin-transform-react-remove-prop-types" 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.
