eslint-plugin-eslint-comments ships CommonJS only. require("eslint-plugin-eslint-comments") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. The package declares Node.js >=6.5.0. import "eslint-plugin-eslint-comments" 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.

1. require("eslint-plugin-eslint-comments") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. The package declares Node.js >=6.5.0.
