react-native-paper

After follow this steps all worked again

1. Remove node_modules folder.

2. Install all dependencies again, run npm install. If show any error Remove package-lock.json.

3. Run npm start again.

Happy coding.

Answer 2

you don't really need to delete node_modules folder.

just update it by typing:

1/ npm : npm install

or

2/ yarn : yarn install

in your terminal. That will update the node_modules folder content as well as creating all missing files without the need to reinstall it from scratch.

Answer 3

I deleted the folder "node_modules" then run "npm install" again. It worked for me.

Answer 4

I had this issue after I installed react-native-svg

Maybe there is some sort of naming conflict is causing this error? Deleting node_modules and running npm install again fixed it for me.

Answer 5

I was getting the same problem, after running 'npm install --global expo-cli' it solved the issue or you can run npm install
