Attempting to import this project into my React Native Project #5

Closed Louis345 closed 6 years ago

Louis345 commented 6 years ago

I do not know what details to provide, but I am having an extremely hard time importing the project in my App. I went through the normally NPM install unofficial-jisho-api. Attempted to import the project by typing in import jisho from 'unofficial-jisho-api';

My project fails each and every time. I deleted the node modules and then did an npm install and still did not resolve my issue. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'm unfamiliar with React Native, but I'll try to help if I can. Can you tell me specifically how it fails? Does NPM give error messages? If not, what is the value of the jisho variable after you import, and what about it isn't working?

If all else fails, you could always try just using the https://github.com/mistval/unofficial-jisho-api/blob/master/index.js file in your project instead of installing the module with NPM. But let's try making it work with NPM first.

I think I will try to import the file into my project. As far as debugging is concerned, I am not able to get to the point of seeing where it fails, because as soon as I try to import the project it fails. It's like webpack cannot import it correctly. Another odd issue is that vscode my editor is not detecting the project, but if I right click on the import statement it takes to the module. I am really unsure on how to troubleshoot this issue. My knowledge is really limited here. But I do thank you for such an awesome proejct.

It's because React Native package manager is having trouble with require. It has nothing to do with your code.
