ESM-only ESM-only since 3.0.0 — last CommonJS version is 2.3.0

domelementtype dropped its CommonJS build in 3.0.0 (March 2026). The last version with a plain require()-able CommonJS entry is 2.3.0, published Apr 7, 2022.

On Node.js 20.19+, 22.12+ and newer, require("domelementtype") works with the latest version: Node.js loads synchronous ES modules through require(). Verified on Node.js 20, 22, 24 and 26. Node.js 18 has no require(esm), and domelementtype@3.0.0 declares Node.js >=20.19.0, so 18 is outside its supported range anyway.

domelementtype@3.0.0 declares engines ">=20.19.0", so Node.js 18 is outside its supported range regardless of module format.

What to do

  1. On Node.js 20.19+, 22.12+ and newer, require("domelementtype") works with the latest version: Node.js loads synchronous ES modules through require(). Verified on Node.js 20, 22, 24 and 26.
  2. From a CommonJS file, use a dynamic import inside an async function: const domelementtype = await import("domelementtype"). That works on every Node.js version the package supports (>=20.19.0).
  3. If you need a synchronous require() or run Node.js 18: npm install domelementtype@2.3.0, the last CommonJS release (published Apr 7, 2022).
  4. domelementtype@3.0.0 declares engines ">=20.19.0", so Node.js 18 is unsupported regardless: upgrade Node.js or pin an older release.
  5. TypeScript: types are bundled; install nothing extra.

How to import domelementtype

ES modules (import)

import * as domelementtype from "domelementtype";

Namespace import shown because the ESM entry may have no default export; use named imports for what it exports.

CommonJS (require)

// Node.js 20.19+, 22.12+ and newer (verified):
const domelementtype = require("domelementtype");

// Any Node.js version the package supports (>=20.19.0), from an async function:
async function main() {
  const domelementtype = await import("domelementtype");
}

// Or pin the last CommonJS release:
// npm install domelementtype@2.3.0
