Could you make it work with react 17.0?

[Chung Xa]

I'm using react native with react version 17.0.1 and it seems not working well together.
Could you spend a little time to make it work?
Thanks a lot!

[Andrea]

I second this request.

Thanks.

is this abandoned? If so we'll need to find a new solution. We require minimum React 17 and this is tossing errors because it is looking for 16.2!

I have an EXPO created app with below -

{
  "name": "mobile",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "expo start",
    "android": "expo start --android",
    "ios": "expo start --ios",
    "web": "expo start --web",
    "eject": "expo eject"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "expo": "~45.0.0",
    "expo-status-bar": "~1.3.0",
    "punycode": "^2.1.1",
    "react": "17.0.2",
    "react-dom": "17.0.2",
    "react-native": "0.68.2",
    "react-native-markdown-display": "^7.0.0-alpha.2",
    "react-native-web": "0.17.7"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@babel/core": "^7.12.9"
  },
  "private": true
}

which seems to be working with "react": "17.0.2",

Which scenarios are you guys getting errors?

I was also facing some problems with the project reacted using Expo and React Native 17.0.2.

But then, @subhranshudas shared his package.json configuration, and i`ve noticed that the error my Expo was showing to me said something like "punycode could not be found within the project".

So I connected the dots and then I just installed the punycode, and just like that, out of the blue, the React Native Markdown Display worked in the project.

So right now I believe that somehow the punycode package is not getting installed as a dependency of this library, and thats probably one of the reasons of the current problem.

For those wondering how to get this to work with Expo in 2023 using this working fork https://github.com/flowchase/react-native-markdown-display.

npm install git+https://github.com/flowchase/react-native-markdown-display
expo install punycode

You have to use this for importing Markdown

import Markdown from '@flowchase/react-native-markdown-display'
