Intellij IDEA cannot resolve React Native import

Question

The React import is ok, but other import can not used in autocompletion.

If I import as import Text from 'react-native' , this can be resolve correctly, but this is incorrect import.So I assume IDE will resolve symbol by lookup import Class name only, The question is how can I work around this?

Answer 1

The problem occurs because of a tricky way react-native modules are defined. I'd suggest using typescript community stubs to solve the issue: Preferences | Languages & Frameworks | JavaScript | Libraries Preferences | Languages & Frameworks | JavaScript | Libraries Preferences | Languages & Frameworks | JavaScript | Libraries , press Download , then choose 'react-native' from the stubs list

Answer 2

I use Webstorm 2017.2 and I experienced this error. I tried various solutions, and following solution was worked on my IDE.

Step 1: This step is optional, but I did it. Remove all of the Webstrom preferences. Please check document for related folders: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/project-and-ide-settings.html

Step 2: Remove .idea file in the project directory.

Step 3: Select React JSX under Languages & Frameworks > JavaScript .

Step 4: Download and select react-native under Languages & Frameworks > JavaScript > Libraries .

Step 5: Invalidate Caches / Restart...

Answer 3

This worked for me, go to:

Preferences -> Languages & Frameworks -> JavaScript

and then where it says JavaScript language version , choose in the drop down ReactJSX .

Good luck!

1. Install flow-typed globally. example: $ npm install -g flow-typed

2. flow-typed create-stub react-native

3. open /flow-typed/npm/react-native-vx.xxjs

4. Copy and paste the entire following code below into react-native.xxx.js.

PS This is the setting when the react-native library component/type cannot be found when designating js as the flow type in the intelliJ platform.
