Could not find a declaration file for module 'react-query'

Question

I am refactoring a piece of code and it shows this type of error whenever I try to import "react-query

Answer 1

I ran into the same thing and had to downgrade to version 3.

npm i react-query@3

Or for 4+

npm i @tanstack/react-query

Answer 2

It's because you are importing into a TypeScript file and it can't find the type declaration for the imported module. Normally all you need to do is to follow the given instructions and open a command prompt, go to the directory D:\overview and type:

npm i --save-dev @types/react-query
