Is react-bootstrap ESM-only? Can you require() it?

Bootstrap 5 components built with React

Last verified Sep 9, 2026 against react-bootstrap@2.10.10. JSON

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

react-bootstrap ships CommonJS only. require("react-bootstrap") works everywhere. import "react-bootstrap" 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.

It also declares a "module" field, so bundlers such as webpack, Vite and esbuild pick up an ESM build for tree-shaking.
