Are there plans to provide ESM builds for @atlaskit/icons?

Hi Atlassian team :waving_hand:

I wanted to ask whether there are any plans to provide ESM module builds for @atlaskit/icons?

At the moment, the package appears to export CommonJS only, which can cause issues with modern ESM-first bundlers. Recent changes in bundler behavior (for example Rolldown / Vite) highlight ambiguities around default imports from CJS modules, and some existing import patterns can break as a result. More on this here: Bundling CJS | Rolldown

There is a deprecated compatibility option (legacy.inconsistentCjsInterop: true) that can temporarily restore previous behavior, but it’s intended as a short-term workaround rather than a long-term solution.

Because of this, consumers may currently need to rely on legacy interop flags or custom bundler configuration when using @atlaskit/icons.

So my question is:

Are there any plans to ship @atlaskit/icons with an ESM build (or dual CJS + ESM exports) to avoid these interop issues going forward?

Thanks!

I’d like to add to this request, since the package prevents updating Storybook to a more modern version, since it has been ESM-only for a while.
