Cannot use import statement outside a module

[aguycalled]

Description

Can't require the module from metro.config.js to resolve net, as it is needed by a third party library.

Steps to reproduce

Project created with npx react-native init.

Contents of metro.config.js:

module.exports = {
  resolver: {
    extraNodeModules: {
      net: require('react-native-tcp-socket'),
    },
  },
};

Current behavior

Error:

error Cannot use import statement outside a module.
/Users/alex/navcash/node_modules/react-native-tcp-socket/src/index.js:3
import Socket from './Socket';

@aguycalled, I am sorry for your issue. However, I do not understand your problem. If you want to resolve react-native-tcp-socket as net, you should add the configuration to your package.json file. Take a look at the docs about overriding net here.
