Dual (CommonJS + ESM) Dual package — require() works on every Node.js version we test; import works too
jest-leak-detector publishes both a CommonJS entry and a native ESM entry (ESM added in 30.0.0). require("jest-leak-detector") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. The package declares Node.js ^18.14.0 || ^20.0.0 || ^22.0.0 || >=24.0.0. import "jest-leak-detector" works alongside it.
