(react-native) Typescript error: Cannot find name 'Buffer'/'http'/'https'

[dudunato]

Hey there,

After following the steps of #1271 and adding the types to my tsconfig.json then it gives me another error:

node_modules/@types/react-native/index.d.ts(8630,14): error TS2300: Duplicate identifier 'require'.
node_modules/@types/node/index.d.ts(140,13): error TS2300: Duplicate identifier 'require'.

Here's my tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es2015",
    "module": "es2015",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "jsx": "react",
    "outDir": "compiled",
    "rootDir": "./src",
    "types": ["node", "react", "react-native", "jest"]
  },
  "include": ["./src/**/*"],
  "exclude": [
    "./compiled",
    "./node_modules"
  ]
}

It seems that node types are conflicting with react-native. Any thoughts?

It looks like there is an open PR that might address this issue on the DefinitelyTyped repository. Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do in the SDK about this while the issue is being resolved by the maintainers of the @types/node and @types/react-native packages.

As a workaround, you could add bespoke typings for the portions of the React Native API that are called directly by the application being compiled (per the advice given in DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#15960).

@dudunato I just hacked around it. aws-amplify/amplify-js#281 (comment) ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dudunato]

I just ignored it on my tsconfig (but not a good solution at all). I might migrate to yours! Thanks so much for sharing, @kevinsperrine!

As this is still being sorted out in DefinitelyTyped, I'm going to close this isssue.
