Steps To Reproduce

1. proceed with official getting started guide for RN (React Native CLI Quickstart)
2. try to init TS template
   ...

Describe what you expected to happen:

1. should not crash

Reproducible sample code

I have no code, it is not related to this issue

[radko93]

Please read readme and how to use this template.

[gitowiec]

For future users here is what I omitted reading README.md, and what is crucial to use this template

You may need to remove the globally installed react-native-cli (npm uninstall -g react-native-cli), for the above command to work. The global react-native-cli is deprecated, and no longer supported.

[guhyeon]

remove legacy react-native-cli
npm uninstall -g react-native-cli

install new thing
npm i -g @react-native-community/cli

and you can new project with react-native-template-typescript
npx react-native init MyApp --template react-native-template-typescript

[isalo]

thanks it works

[HemantRMali]

@guhyeon , thanks it works.

[venzersiz]

OMG, Thank @guhyeon. You saved my life!

[usmanmirza007]

error Error: Command failed: yarn add react-native@latest
error An unexpected error occurred: "https://registry.yarnpkg.com/react-native: tunneling socket could not be established, cause=getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND host".
This error show after create new project

[jrz]

Please reopen.

[radko93]

@jrz what's your issue?

[jrz]

Exactly the same. When starting doing an init with the ts template, I get

error An unexpected error occurred: "https://registry.yarnpkg.com/react-native-template-react-native-template-typescript: Not found".

Note the react-native-template prefix.

--template typescript Does work. This is not what's in the documentation. Also, --template without template name to list templates is broken, but that's for react-native-community/cli:

(node:94561) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: template.includes is not a function

[radko93]

@jrz check for fixes in this issue #80. You probably have wrong cli installed

[jrz]

Hmm.. ok. I did install the latest version (I have multiple node versions managed by nodenv, and because it does know the cli available somewhere, it'll return a message about that rather than not-found).

Afterwards, I removed all cli's from all versions.. I'll have to upgrade old projects someday anyway. Still didn't work, as I removed the cli's in a separate terminal. Had to close / nodenv rehash in or to pick it up.

[carlosstenzel]

Can you try adding the --ignore-existing flag

npx --ignore-existing react-native init MyApp --template react-native-template-typescript

Best solution I found

Remove

npm uninstall -g react-native-cli

Create the folder where the project will be

mkdir [folder name] && cd [folder name]

Install the dependencies and everything will work

yarn init
yarn add react-native
yarn react-native init [Project Name] ...

This didn't work for me npm uninstall -g react-native-cli

then I remembered that I used yarn 😅 so for reference
yarn global remove react-native-cli

then installing the correct one
yarn global add @react-native-community/cli

then creating a new project should work

Try update yarn.

It helped me

First, remove react-native-cli

npm uninstall -g react-native-cli

Second, install @react-native-community/cli

npm i -g @react-native-community/cli

Third, with this I should able to create react native project using typescript tempalate

npx react-native init MyApp --template react-native-template-typescript

Fourth, for run existing project or old react native project

npx react-native start
npx react-native run-android / npx react-native run-ios

[TenzinJhopee]

remove legacy react-native-cli
npm uninstall -g react-native-cli

install new thing
npm i -g @react-native-community/cli

and you can new project with react-native-template-typescript
npx react-native init MyApp --template react-native-template-typescript

Thanks .. it work!!!

Updating the node & npm version helped me. If it doesn’t help try updating yarn, perhaps it would resolve the issue.
