Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'ReactDOM' - reactjs

Question

I am trying to import framer library in my project. The project itself compiles just fine if I don't import Hearts.tsx. However it fails just likee below if I import Hearts.tsx. Hearts.tsx imports framer. Unfortunately I am getting an error when I tried to run it with webpack-dev-server.

What am I missing?
By the way, this is my package.json file:

Answer 1

It looks like node_modules/framer/build/framer.js is requiring the wrong module name: it should be react-dom, not ReactDOM. I wasn't able to find any documentation indicating how this library is supposed to be used that might suggest why requiring ReactDOM would work. Where was the documentation that pointed you to this library?
Anyway, you should be able to work around the problem by creating a ReactDOM module that just re-exports react-dom. Create a ReactDOM directory with files:
// ReactDOM/index.js
export * from "react-dom";
// ReactDOM/package.json
{"name": "ReactDOM"}
and add "ReactDOM": "./ReactDOM" to your dependencies in package.json.

Answer 2

Maybe the issue it's that your react-dom it's not properly installed.
try
npm install react react-dom --save
and after that your package.json must include the dependencies
Have you checked your package.json now?

Answer 3

An alternative solution is to use the module.resolve option in your Webpack config:
const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
...,
resolve: {
...,
alias: {
...,
React: path.resolve(__dirname, './node_modules/react/'),
ReactDOM: path.resolve(__dirname, './node_modules/react-dom/')
}
}
}
I had a similar problem using a different library, and this solved it for me!

Answer 4

is better update react and react-dom to latest version ,
npm install react#latest react-dom#latest ,
i changed packaje.json ("react": "^18.2.0","react-dom": "^18.2.0") then used nmp i
I hope , have helped
