Proper mechanism to downgrade react-native

Question

My situation is this :

I had a working copy of a react-native project that was working well. Had it commited to my git repository.

I decided to upgrade react-native to 0.26.3 and then 0.28 and finally ended up in a big dependency mess with collisions. So decided to go back to previous working version. Reverted the changes. Removed node_modules folder from my working directory.

But now npm install just won't work.

My working dependencies in package.json

  "dependencies": {     "immutable": "^3.8.1",     "key-mirror": "^1.0.1",     "react": "^15.0.2",     "react-native": "^0.26.0",     "react-native-router-flux": "^3.26.1",     "react-redux": "^4.4.5",     "redux": "^3.5.2",     "redux-thunk": "^2.1.0",     "strformat": "0.0.7"   },   "devDependencies": {     "babel-core": "^6.10.4",     "babel-jest": "^12.1.0",     "babel-preset-es2015": "^6.9.0",     "babel-preset-react-native": "^1.9.0",     "babel-register": "^6.9.0",     "chai": "^3.5.0",     "fetch-mock": "^4.5.4",     "jest-cli": "^12.1.1",     "mocha": "^2.5.3",     "mockery": "^1.7.0",     "nock": "^8.0.0",     "redux-mock-store": "^1.1.1",     "sinon": "^1.17.4",     "sinon-chai": "^2.8.0",     "sinon-stub-promise": "^2.0.0"   } 

Now I get

npm ERR! peerinvalid The package [email protected] does not satisfy its siblings' peerDependencies requirements! npm ERR! peerinvalid Peer [email protected] wants [email protected] npm ERR! peerinvalid Peer [email protected] wants react@^0.14.0 || ^15.0.0-0 

This just not makes sense to me, as my react dependency is 15.0.2 and react-native 0.26.0 as you can see in package.json.

Note that this is from a previous commit that was working (the whole lot). I also did a npm ls. Weirdly wrong dependencies are shown in the tree like wrong versions of react-native, react-native-router-flux, react.

For existing projects if you want to install/downgrade to lower version

npm install [email protected]  ex: npm install [email protected] 

This will install the version specified.

Check the installed version with react-native --version
