CommonJS CommonJS — require() works on every Node.js version we test
resolve-url-loader ships CommonJS only. require("resolve-url-loader") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. The package declares Node.js >=12. import "resolve-url-loader" 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
- require("resolve-url-loader") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. The package declares Node.js >=12.
- From ES modules use the default import: import resolveUrlLoader from "resolve-url-loader"; then destructure. Named imports only work when Node.js can statically detect the exports.
- TypeScript: no types are available for resolve-url-loader; declare the module yourself if you need them.
