React native 0.69.1 I am facing issue 'deprecated-react-native-prop-types'

Question

Error:

deprecated-react-native-prop-types

"react-native": "0.69.1",---- this error comes only in the latest version of react-native

I am facing this issues when I installed any of this library
-react-native-snap-carousel
-react-native-fast-image

Requiring module "node_modules/react-native-snap-carousel/src/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'.

Answer 1

open files

./node_modules/react-native-snap-carousel/src/carousel/Carousel.js 
./node_modules/react-native-snap-carousel/src/Pagination/Pagination.js
./node_modules/react-native-snap-carousel/src/Pagination/PaginationDot.js
./node_modules/react-native-snap-carousel/src/ParallaxImage/ParallaxImage.js

edit

import { ... ,ViewPropTypes } from 'react-native';

to

import { ... } from 'react-native';
import {ViewPropTypes} from 'deprecated-react-native-prop-types';

it will work...

Answer 2

This is a mistake of the old npm packages, and if the project is alive, then the developers fix it in new versions. And maybe this error will go away when you update the package to a newer one.

I found the solution for this error install typescript package should also install type definitions which resolve the error 'deprecated-react-native-prop-types' for snap crousel library

$ npm install --save @types/react-native-snap-carousel
    
         **THIS IS WORKING PERFECT FOR ME**

I PREFER TO FOLLOW THE FIRST APPROACH

OR you can follow different approach

find ViewPropTypes import in the node modules in which library this gives error delete import this file from 'react-native' and create new import

import {ViewPropTypes} from 'react-native';
import {ViewPropTypes} from 'deprecated-react-native-prop-types';

and its also work good but when you install new package or npm install again you have to do this steps againn for the libraries which gives same error
