React Native: Under what circumstances do you have to manually add dependencies of your dependencies?

Question

I have the component react-native-modal-datetime-picker in my React Native project. It's throwing the following error:

error: bundling failed: Error: Unable to resolve module '@react-native-community/datetimepicker' from 'node_modules/react-native-modal-datetime-picker/src/DateTimePickerModal.android.js: @react-native-community/datetimepicker could not be found within the project.

It seems that there's a reference in the react-native-modal-datetime-picker module to the @react-native-community/datetimepicker module. I've never run into a scenario before where I had to manually add a dependency of another dependency. Does anyone have any insight on why this is happening?

Answer 1

see the github

you need to run this:

expo install react-native-modal-datetime-picker @react-native-community/datetimepicker
