dependencies with create-react-native-app

Question

I'm getting a new list of errors as follows:

npm ERR! peer dep missing: react@16.3.1, required by react-native@0.55.4
npm ERR! extraneous: websql@0.4.4 d:\atestbed\native-react\lecture4-contacts\node_modules\websql
npm ERR! missing: websql@https://github.com/expo/node-websql/archive/18.0.0.tar.gz, required by expo@27.0.1
npm ERR! peer dep missing: react-native@^0.51 || ^0.52 || ^0.53 || ^0.54, required by react-native-maps@0.21.0
npm ERR! peer dep missing: eslint@^3.17.0 || ^4.0.0, required by eslint-plugin-react-native@3.2.1

When I try to install these dependencies I seem to be making the problem worse. Is this something that will take care of itself with later updates or do I need to solve these issues now? Any guidance greatly appreciated

UPDATE:

I removed yarn and create-react-native-app and reinstalled, again with -g option. I then update react to 16.3.1 but got about 50 missing file warnings. I updated to 16.3.2 but that doesn't work with expo. Reinstalled react.16.3.1 and now have fewer missing files.

I then install the missing packages but npm ls stills says they are missing:

Did you tried to remove node_modules ans lock files and then running npm install again? — bennygenel, May 13 '18 at 16:36

For some reason the version that gets installed does not match the version required by react-native.

I fixed this by removing yarn.lock and node_modules and running yarn again to reinstall deps.

I am not sure what is causing the issue, package.json has the correct version listed in the dependencies, however the one installed I believe is the latest (possible yarn.lock issue? not sure...)

I think this issue in their repo is related: https://github.com/react-community/create-react-native-app/issues/649

here's what seems to work:

Uninstall yarn (this may not be necessary)
roll back npm to version 4.6.1
install eslint@4.0.0
install ajv@6.0.0
add the installs to json file to silence extraneous warning

now the only error you should be left with is:

npm ERR! peer dep missing: react-native@^0.51 || ^0.52 || ^0.53 || ^0.54, required by react-native-maps@0.21.0

which is a problem with the react-native-maps package used for working with maps not the js function map
