# @sanity/import is now ESM only

**Version:** v4.0.0

**Published:** October 2, 2025

The import package is now ESM-only and has an updated minimum Node.js requirement. This change only impacts users of the `@sanity/import` package.

## Breaking Changes

#### Node.js 20+ Required 

The minimum Node.js version is now** 20.19.1** (or **22.12+** for Node 22). Node.js **18** is no longer supported.

### ESM-only Package 

The package is now pure ESM and no longer supports CommonJS.  Additionally, named exports are now used - there is no default export anymore. The only exported method is named `sanityImport`. 



**Before (v3):**

```
const sanityImport = require('@sanity/import')
```

**After (v4):**

```
import {sanityImport} from '@sanity/import'
```
