ViewPropTypes has been removed from React Native

Posted on by amoerke

Steps

  1. Install patch-package, this will later be used to make the changes more persistent.
  2. Install deprecated-react-native-prop-types by running npm install deprecated-react-native-prop-types or yarn add deprecated-react-native-prop-types
  3. Now you have to hack the node_modules. Go to node_modules/react-native/index.js starting around line 436 and change this:
// Deprecated Prop Types
get ColorPropType(): $FlowFixMe {
  invariant(
    false,
    "ColorPropType has been removed from React Native. Migrate to " +
      "ColorPropType exported from 'deprecated-react-native-prop-types'.",
 );
},
get EdgeInsetsPropType(): $FlowFixMe {
  invariant(
    false,
    "EdgeInsetsPropType has been removed from React Native. Migrate to " +
      "EdgeInsetsPropType exported from 'deprecated-react-native-prop-types'.",
  );
},
get PointPropType(): $FlowFixMe {
  invariant(
    false,
    "PointPropType has been removed from React Native. Migrate to " +
     "PointPropType exported from 'deprecated-react-native-prop-types'.",
 );
},
get ViewPropTypes(): $FlowFixMe {
 invariant(
   false,
   "ViewPropTypes has been removed from React Native. Migrate to " +
     "ViewPropTypes exported from 'deprecated-react-native-prop-types'.",
 );
},Code-Sprache: JavaScript (javascript)

to this:

  // Deprecated Prop Types
  get ColorPropType(): $FlowFixMe {
    return require("deprecated-react-native-prop-types").ColorPropType
  },
  get EdgeInsetsPropType(): $FlowFixMe {
    return require("deprecated-react-native-prop-types").EdgeInsetsPropType
  },
  get PointPropType(): $FlowFixMe {
    return require("deprecated-react-native-prop-types").PointPropType
  },
  get ViewPropTypes(): $FlowFixMe {
    return require("deprecated-react-native-prop-types").ViewPropTypes
  },
Code-Sprache: JavaScript (javascript)
  1. Run npx patch-package react-native to save the patch.
  2. Rebuild the app.

Only thing to keep in mind is that this patch will need to be reapplied with every upgrade to react-native, or until the libraries in question are updated to import from deprecated-react-native-prop-types instead.
