Is gulp-jshint ESM-only? Can you require() it?

CommonJS CommonJS on paper — require() failed in our runtime test

gulp-jshint declares a CommonJS entry only, but require("gulp-jshint") failed on every Node.js version in our probe: ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE. import "gulp-jshint" resolves to the same file, so it fails the same way. That usually means a missing peer dependency, a browser-only global, or a package that is not meant to be loaded directly; see the runtime table below.

What to do

  1. require("gulp-jshint") failed in our probe on every Node.js version (ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE); check the package README for peer dependencies or setup before relying on it.
  2. From ES modules use the default import: import gulpJshint from "gulp-jshint"; then destructure. Named imports only work when Node.js can statically detect the exports.
  3. TypeScript: no types are available for gulp-jshint; declare the module yourself if you need them.

A failing require() on a CommonJS package usually means the package needs a browser/DOM global, a peer dependency, or a native binary that is not available in a bare Node.js process.

How to import gulp-jshint

ES modules (import)

import gulpJshint from "gulp-jshint";

Named imports from a CommonJS package only work when Node.js can statically detect them. If a named import fails, use the default import and destructure.

CommonJS (require)

// require("gulp-jshint") failed in our probe on every Node.js version we test (ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE); see the runtime table.
const gulpJshint = require("gulp-jshint");

Module format by version

Derived from the type, main and exports fields of every stable release on npm, corrected where a runtime test of that version contradicted them (49 versions; the newest 49 shown).
