Can't install through npm

[kevnw]

Question

Trying to use the useDimensions library from @react-native-community/hooks but I can't install it. Any help?

[aradhya-gupta]

I have the exact same issue.

Hmm, I'm having a hard time seeing how this specific package could have caused this. Are you seeing this with any other package, or just ours?

@kevnw it seems like you are running this on a Window filesystem from Linux, is that a correct assumption? Does it work if you install the package to e.g. /tmp/foobar.

@aradhya-gupta what operating system and file system are you using?

[aradhya-gupta]

@LinusU I'm using windows 10

I'm getting the following error while compilation of my app:

While trying to resolve module @react-native-community/hooks from file C:\Users\Aradhya\Desktop\DoneWith\App.js, the package C:\Users\Aradhya\Desktop\DoneWith\node_modules\@react-native-community\hooks\package.json was successfully found. However, this package itself specifies a main module field that could not be resolved (C:\Users\Aradhya\Desktop\DoneWith\node_modules\@react-native-community\hooks\lib\index.js. Indeed, none of these files exist:

I am also facing this issue with npm. It seems to be an issue specific to downloading with npm.
yarn adding works perfectly.
yarn add @react-native-community/hooks

Facing the same issue with npm, any solution?

[zhengfen]

I had a similar problem with npm install. For the moment I installed the package with yarn.

[Riamus78]

Uninstalling and reinstalling the library fixed it for me, don't know what went wrong the first time though

[SiddheshDabholkar]

use this command instead

npm install @react-native-community/hooks -f

or

yarn add @react-native-community/hooks

[barenzimo]

SiddheshDabholkar That worked for me. Had the same issue
