Error: Unable to resolve module 'stream'

[t104360088]

Description

The project was working fine a while ago, but suddenly it can't be executed, can anyone help me?
I have tried any clear command and action.

error: Error: Unable to resolve module stream from D:.........\node_modules\readable-stream\readable.js: stream could not be found within the project or in these directories:
node_modules\readable-stream\node_modules
node_modules

If you are sure the module exists, try these steps:

1. Clear watchman watches: watchman watch-del-all
2. Delete node_modules and run yarn install
3. Reset Metro's cache: yarn start --reset-cache
4. Remove the cache: rm -rf /tmp/metro-*

1 | exports = module.exports = require('./lib/_stream_readable.js');
| ^
2 | exports.Stream = require('stream');
3 | exports.Readable = exports;
4 | exports.Writable = require('./lib/_stream_writable.js');

@t104360088 stream it is Node.js code module, and not available in react native environment.

you should avoid importing "readable-stream"

Can you show output of:

yarn why readable-stream

@shafqatbari Did you use stream-browserify, bl or through2 in your code ?
if yes them remove them or replace with compatible version for RN

[cortinico]

stream it is Node.js code module, and not available in react native environment.

Closing as this has been answered by @retyui (thanks for doing it 🙏 )
You should not be using Node.js core module in your React native application as they're not available.

Than which module should we use to read readablestream in react native?

[shamilovtim]

RN needs ReadableStream support. Yes, it's not a node environment. However this API is used by the broader web, and supporting it is supporting a basic commonly available web technology that's missing in RN. It looks bad on RN's part that it doesn't have support for it.
