ESM-only ESM-only since 3.0.0 — last CommonJS version is 2.0.0
d3-ease dropped its CommonJS build in 3.0.0 (June 2021). The last version with a plain require()-able CommonJS entry is 2.0.0, published Aug 23, 2020.
On Node.js 20.19+, 22.12+ and newer, require("d3-ease") works with the latest version: Node.js loads synchronous ES modules through require(). Verified on Node.js 20, 22, 24 and 26. On Node.js 18, which has no require(esm), require("d3-ease") fails with ERR_REQUIRE_ESM.
What to do
- On Node.js 20.19+, 22.12+ and newer, require("d3-ease") works with the latest version: Node.js loads synchronous ES modules through require(). Verified on Node.js 20, 22, 24 and 26.
- From a CommonJS file, use a dynamic import inside an async function: const d3Ease = await import("d3-ease"). That works on every Node.js version the package supports (>=12).
- If you need a synchronous require() or run Node.js 18: npm install d3-ease@2.0.0, the last CommonJS release (published Aug 23, 2020).
- TypeScript: npm install -D @types/d3-ease
