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

nsp ships CommonJS only. require("nsp") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. The package declares Node.js >=6.0.0. import "nsp" 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("nsp") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. The package declares Node.js >=6.0.0.
  2. From ES modules use the default import: import nsp from "nsp"; then destructure. Named imports only work when Node.js can statically detect the exports.
  3. TypeScript: no types are available for nsp; declare the module yourself if you need them.
  4. This package is deprecated: The Node Security Platform service is shutting down 9/30 - https://blog.npmjs.org/post/175511531085/the-node-security-platform-service-is-shutting
