Gradient RN ViewPropTypes Deprecation Error

[bennettfrazier]

Hi @nandorojo – I ran into an issue installing the gradient component, getting this error thrown whenever I import

Requiring module "node_modules/@dripsy/gradient/node_modules/expo-modules-core/build/index.js", which threw an exception: Invariant Violation: ViewPropTypes has been removed from React Native. Migrate to ViewPropTypes exported from 'deprecated-react-native-prop-types'.

Followed the docs, and happens whenever I try adding in the import or add gradient theme presets:

// error happens on import
import { Gradient } from '@dripsy/gradient'

// or when adding in a linear gradient theme config
linearGradients: {
    $appBgFade: ['$appBgTransparent', '$appBg']
},

Not super familiar with Typescript or how to resolve, but discovered these two React Native issues while debugging: #33734 and #33557

yeah i need to fix this when i have time

Gotcha, is it as simple as this to resolve? https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/33557#issuecomment-1212212561

If so, where would this need to be replaced? I did a search in the repo for ViewPropTypes but didn't see any results.

Can you try upgrading to 3.7.x for both dripsy and the gradient?

Saw issue was closed, and confirmed upgrading to latest works (3.8) on my end.

Nice, thank you! 🎊
