Last verified Sep 9, 2026 against es-object-atoms@1.1.2.

es-object-atoms ships CommonJS only. require("es-object-atoms") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. The package declares Node.js >= 0.4. import "es-object-atoms" 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("es-object-atoms") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. The package declares Node.js >= 0.4.
2. From ES modules use the default import: import esObjectAtoms from "es-object-atoms"; then destructure. Named imports only work when Node.js can statically detect the exports.
