Lint rules related to React & JSX for TSLint

Last verified Sep 9, 2026 against tslint-react@5.0.0.

tslint-react ships CommonJS only. require("tslint-react") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. import "tslint-react" 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.

**Deprecated:** tslint-react is deprecated along with TSLint

## What to do

1. require("tslint-react") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun.
2. From ES modules use the default import: import tslintReact from "tslint-react"; then destructure. Named imports only work when Node.js can statically detect the exports.
3. TypeScript: no types are available for tslint-react; declare the module yourself if you need them.
4. This package is deprecated: tslint-react is deprecated along with TSLint
