Module not found Error: Can't resolve 'history' in @types/history

Question

Am developing a React Application where I want to use @types/history module..

Installed

npm install --save @types/history

And in my component file trying to import like

import { createBrowserHistory, History } from 'history' 

And

import { createBrowserHistory, History } from '@types/history'

But throwing exception like

Module not found: Can't resolve 'history' in

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

When installing @types/history you are just providing typescript compiler with type information about history package. Not the package itself. See for example this thread for some details.

Therefore - you must install history package in order to use it:

$ npm install --save history

See more info about its usage at their github rep.

Answer 2

try to install history and react router dom package using npm

npm install --save history
npm install react-router-dom --save
