CommonJS CommonJS — require() works on every Node.js version we test

eslint-plugin-jest ships CommonJS only. require("eslint-plugin-jest") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. The package declares Node.js ^20.12.0 || ^22.0.0 || >=24.0.0. import "eslint-plugin-jest" 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("eslint-plugin-jest") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. The package declares Node.js ^20.12.0 || ^22.0.0 || >=24.0.0.
  2. From ES modules use the default import: import eslintPluginJest from "eslint-plugin-jest"; then destructure. Named imports only work when Node.js can statically detect the exports.
  3. TypeScript: types are bundled; install nothing extra.
