# Is react-remove-scroll-bar ESM-only? Can you require() it?

> react-remove-scroll-bar@2.3.8 is a CommonJS package. CommonJS — require() works on every Node.js version we test.

Removes body scroll without content _shake_

Last verified Sep 9, 2026 against react-remove-scroll-bar@2.3.8.

react-remove-scroll-bar ships CommonJS only. require("react-remove-scroll-bar") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. The package declares Node.js >=10. import "react-remove-scroll-bar" 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.

## What to do

1. require("react-remove-scroll-bar") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. The package declares Node.js >=10.
2. From ES modules use the default import: import reactRemoveScrollBar from "react-remove-scroll-bar"; then destructure. Named imports only work when Node.js can statically detect the exports.
3. TypeScript: types are bundled; install nothing extra.
