Cannot find module 'react-native-elements'

Question

Just created my first React-Native application and added my first library 'react-native-elements' using

yarn add react-native-elements

the package appears in my node_modules folder and yarn.lock, however I receive the following error:

Cannot find module 'react-native-elements'

app.tsx

import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { Button, FormLabel, FormInput, FormValidationMessage } from 'react-native-elements';



export default function App() {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <FormLabel>Name</FormLabel>
      <FormInput />
      <FormValidationMessage>Error message</FormValidationMessage>
      <Button>Send</Button>
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: '#fff',
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
});

Package.json

{
  "main": "node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "expo start",

https://react-native-elements.github.io/react-native-elements/docs/troubleshooting.html Can you try this?

yarn - rm -rf node_modules && yarn && yarn add react-native-elements
npm start -- --reset-cache

Thanks for that I encountered a warning: warning " > react-native-elements@2.0.2" has unmet peer dependency "react-native-vector-icons@>6.6.0". – wuiiz93 Jun 05 '20 at 06:59
Because you don't have install react-native-vector-icon follow document above and install it using yarn add react-native-vector-icons and cd ios pod install – Anhdevit Jun 05 '20 at 07:14

Given that previous answer did not help me, here is what I finally found to solve it:

Source of problem:

yarn add react-native-elements

Solution (that worked with me):

yarn add @types/react-native-elements
