# Is victory-vendor ESM-only? Can you require() it?

> victory-vendor@37.3.6 ships CommonJS and ESM builds, reachable only through subpaths. Dual package, subpaths only — require("victory-vendor/…") works, require("victory-vendor") does not.

Vendored dependencies for Victory

Last verified Sep 9, 2026 against victory-vendor@37.3.6.

victory-vendor exposes only subpaths in its exports map, for example "victory-vendor/d3-*"; there is no root entry, so require("victory-vendor") and import "victory-vendor" both throw ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED. Each subpath ships a CommonJS and a native ESM build, so require("victory-vendor/d3-*") and import "victory-vendor/d3-*" both work.

## What to do

1. Load subpaths, never the bare name: const victoryVendor = require("victory-vendor/d3-*") or import from "victory-vendor/d3-*". require("victory-vendor") throws ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED.
2. TypeScript: types are bundled; install nothing extra.

**Is victory-vendor ESM-only?**

victory-vendor@37.3.6 ships CommonJS and ESM builds, reachable only through subpaths. victory-vendor exposes only subpaths in its exports map, for example "victory-vendor/d3-*"; there is no root entry, so require("victory-vendor") and import "victory-vendor" both throw ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED. Each subpath ships a CommonJS and a native ESM build, so require("victory-vendor/d3-*") and import "victory-vendor/d3-*" both work.

**Can I require victory-vendor?**

Only by subpath. require("victory-vendor") throws ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED because the exports map has no root entry; require("victory-vendor/d3-*") works, and so does import from the same subpath.
