Overview

A handful of folks have mentioned that after upgrading to v6, trying toimport from@typescript-eslint/* packages such as@typescript-eslint/utils causes a new TypeScript type error:

import{ESLintUtils}from'@typescript-eslint/utils';

Cannot find module '@typescript-eslint/utils' or its corresponding type declarations.

This is not a bug. We intentionally dropped support in v6 for Node <16 asthose versions of node are EOL.v6 uses package.json exports - which requires Node 16+ and isn't supported by that older module resolution strategy.

To fix the issue, switch your TSConfig's module resolution to a newer version, most likely"bundler","node16", or"nodenext". See theaka.ms/tsconfig"moduleResolution" docs for more information.

{"compilerOptions": {"moduleResolution":"bundler"    }}

SeeTypeScript's new modules reference docs for more information.
