ESM-only ESM-only since 10.0.0 — last CommonJS version is 9.1.20

eslint-plugin-storybook dropped its CommonJS build in 10.0.0 (October 2025). The last version with a plain require()-able CommonJS entry is 9.1.20, published Mar 5, 2026; it declares support for Node.js >=20.0.0.

On Node.js 20.19+, 22.12+ and newer, require("eslint-plugin-storybook") 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("eslint-plugin-storybook") fails with ERR_REQUIRE_ESM.

What to do

  1. On Node.js 20.19+, 22.12+ and newer, require("eslint-plugin-storybook") 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 eslintPluginStorybook = await import("eslint-plugin-storybook"). That works on every Node.js version the package supports.
  3. If you need a synchronous require(): npm install eslint-plugin-storybook@9.1.20, the last CommonJS release (published Mar 5, 2026); it declares Node.js >=20.0.0.
  4. TypeScript: types are bundled; install nothing extra.
