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

css-tree publishes both a CommonJS entry and a native ESM entry (ESM added in 2.0.0). require("css-tree") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. The package declares Node.js ^10 || ^12.20.0 || ^14.13.0 || >=15.0.0. import "css-tree" works alongside it.

What to do

  1. Nothing to change. require("css-tree") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. The package declares Node.js ^10 || ^12.20.0 || ^14.13.0 || >=15.0.0. import * as cssTree from "css-tree" works alongside it; use named imports for what the ESM entry exports.
  2. TypeScript: npm install -D @types/css-tree
