+You should configure the plugin to match the module format used by your
+bundler. Most modern bundlers will use a package's ES modules by default (i.e.,
+if `package.json` has a `module` field). But if you need the plugin to rewrite
+import paths to point to CommonJS modules, you must set the `commonjs` option
+to `true`.
+
 ## Example
 
 NOTE: `react-native-web` internal paths are _not stable_ and you must not rely
