Compile error: Import errors of GiftedChat on React Native Web

[mebsimmons]

Issue Description

Hi, I'm facing the following errors when I try to import GiftedChat but couldn't find any related topics and issues. Please let me know if you have any ideas or questions for more information. Thank you!

Steps to Reproduce / Code Snippets

1. package.json

   "react": "^18.3.1",
   "react-dom": "^18.3.1",
   "react-native-gifted-chat": "^2.6.4",
   "react-native-safe-area-context": "^4.14.0",
   "react-native-web": "^0.19.13",
   "typescript": "^4.9.5",

2. config-overrides.js (as I'm using react-app-rewired)

   module.exports = function override(config) {
   config.resolve.alias = {
   ...(config.resolve.alias || {}),
   "react-native$": "react-native-web", // Alias react-native to react-native-web
   };
   
   config.module.rules.push({
   test: /\.js$/,
   exclude:
     /node_modules[/\\](?!react-native-gifted-chat|react-native-lightbox|react-native-parsed-text)/,
   use: {
     loader: "babel-loader",
     options: {
       babelrc: false,
       configFile: false,
       presets: [
         ["@babel/preset-env", { useBuiltIns: "usage" }],
         "@babel/preset-react",
       ],
       plugins: ["@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties"],
     },
   },
   });
   
   return config;
   };

3. /pages/Chat.tsx (this is the example code of documentation)

   
   import React, { useState, useCallback, useEffect } from "react";
   import { GiftedChat, IMessage } from "react-native-gifted-chat";

function Chat() { const [messages, setMessages] = useState<IMessage[]>([]);

useEffect(() => { setMessages([ { _id: 1, text: "Hello developer", createdAt: new Date(), user: { _id: 2, name: "React Native", avatar: "https://placeimg.com/140/140/any", }, }, ]); }, []);

const onSend = useCallback((messages: IMessage[] = []) => { setMessages((previousMessages) => GiftedChat.append(previousMessages, messages), ); }, []);

return ( <GiftedChat messages={messages} onSend={(messages) => onSend(messages)} user={{ _id: 1, }} /> ); }

export default Chat;

Followings are what I'm seeing on the terminal after running the app.
