What's the latest version of react-hook-form which is compatible with node 16.20?

[AXG25]

temporary solution (what worked for me): in your package.json you can fix version 7.48.n momentarily while they upload the patch that fixes the incompatibility

[Linuhusainnk]

"react-hook-form": "^7.37.0"

still have issues while deploying

Same here. I pinned to version 7.45.4 and it seems to be working again:

"react-hook-form": "7.45.4",

Can we remove engine field before publishing? This package is not node package. It should work whatever node version uses.

[Moshyfawn]

This is a valid concern. I've successfully run the test suite on Node versions as low as 12. I would honestly consider dropping the engine version back to 12.

As for removing the engine field: we use at least a couple of Node 10 features, including the spread operator, which on the one hand, I doubt anyone is running a project lower than even 12, but on the other hand, strictly specifying the lowest working version is always good.

In my case this is what helped:

yarn install --ignore-engines
