ES2017 spec-compliant Object.values shim.

Last verified Sep 9, 2026 against object.values@1.2.1.

object.values ships CommonJS only. require("object.values") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. The package declares Node.js >= 0.4. import "object.values" 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("object.values") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. The package declares Node.js >= 0.4.
2. From ES modules use the default import: import objectValues from "object.values"; then destructure. Named imports only work when Node.js can statically detect the exports.
3. TypeScript: no types are available for object.values; declare the module yourself if you need them.
