Dual (CommonJS + ESM) Dual package — require() works on every Node.js version we test; import works too

html-escaper publishes both a CommonJS entry and a native ESM entry (ESM added in 2.0.1). require("html-escaper") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. import "html-escaper" works alongside it.

What to do

  1. Nothing to change. require("html-escaper") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. import * as htmlEscaper from "html-escaper" works alongside it; use named imports for what the ESM entry exports.
  2. TypeScript: npm install -D @types/html-escaper
