Dual (CommonJS + ESM) Dual package — require() works on every Node.js version we test; import works too
react-redux publishes both a CommonJS entry and a native ESM entry (ESM added in 9.0.0). require("react-redux") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. import "react-redux" works alongside it.
What to do
- Nothing to change. require("react-redux") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. import * as reactRedux from "react-redux" works alongside it; use named imports for what the ESM entry exports.
- TypeScript: types are bundled; install nothing extra.
