CommonJS CommonJS — require() works on Node.js 20, 22, 24 and 26, fails on 18

cssstyle ships CommonJS only. require("cssstyle") works on Node.js 20, 22, 24 and 26 but fails on Node.js 18 (ERR_REQUIRE_ESM). The package declares Node.js >=20. import "cssstyle" 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("cssstyle") works on Node.js 20, 22, 24 and 26 but fails on Node.js 18 (ERR_REQUIRE_ESM). The package declares Node.js >=20.
  2. From ES modules use the default import: import cssstyle from "cssstyle"; then destructure. Named imports only work when Node.js can statically detect the exports.
  3. TypeScript: npm install -D @types/cssstyle

A failing require() on a CommonJS package usually means the package needs a browser/DOM global, a peer dependency, or a native binary that is not available in a bare Node.js process.

How to import cssstyle

ES modules (import)

import cssstyle from "cssstyle";

Named imports from a CommonJS package only work when Node.js can statically detect them. If a named import fails, use the default import and destructure.

CommonJS (require)

const cssstyle = require("cssstyle");
