To solve the error "Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'axios'", make sure
to install the axios
package by opening your terminal in your project's root
directory and running the command npm install axios
and restart your
development server.
Open your terminal in your project's root directory (where your package.json
file is located) and run the following commands:
# 👇️ with NPM npm install axios # ---------------------------------------------- # 👇️ with YARN yarn add axios
The command will add the axios package to the dependencies of your project.
npm start
command.You should now be able to import and use the axios
package in your React.js
app.
// ✅ Use correct import 👇️ import axios from 'axios'; import {useState, useEffect} from 'react'; function App() { const [post, setPost] = useState(null); useEffect(() => { axios.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1').then(response => { setPost(response.data); }); }, []); if (!post) return null; console.log(post); return ( <div> <p>{post.title}</p> </div> ); } export default App;
If the error is not resolved, try to delete your node_modules
and
package-lock.json
(not package.json
) files, re-run npm install
and restart
your IDE.
# 👇️ delete node_modules and package-lock.json rm -rf node_modules rm -f package-lock.json # 👇️ clean npm cache npm cache clean --force npm install
If you're still getting the "Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'axios'"
error, open your package.json
file and make sure it contains the axios
package in the dependencies
object.
{ // ... rest "dependencies": { "axios": "^0.26.1", }, }
The axios
module should NOT be globally installed or be in your project's
devDependencies
, it should be in the dependencies
object in your
package.json
file.
You can try to manually add the line and re-run npm install
.
npm install
Or install the latest version of the package:
npm install axios@latest
