module not found cant resolve emotion react

Open your terminal in your project's root directory (where your package.json file is located) and run the following commands:

shell

Copied!
# 👇️ with NPM
npm install @emotion/react
npm install @emotion/core
npm install @emotion/styled

# ----------------------------------------------

# 👇️ with YARN
yarn add @emotion/react
yarn add @emotion/core
yarn add @emotion/styled

install emotion react

You don't need to install the @emotion/styled package if you don't use it in your project.

The commands will add the emotion package to the dependencies of your project.

Make sure to restart your development server and your IDE if necessary. Your dev server won't pick up the changes until you stop it and re-run the npm start command.

If you are using the @emotion/css package, make sure to install it as well.

# Delete your node_modules and reinstall your dependencies

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.

If you are on macOS or Linux, issue the following commands in bash or zsh.

shell

Copied!
#  for macOS and Linux
rm -rf node_modules
rm -f package-lock.json
rm -f yarn.lock

# 👇️ clean your npm cache
npm cache clean --force

# 👇️ install packages
npm install

If you are on Windows, issue the following commands in CMD.

cmd

Copied!
# for Windows
rd /s /q "node_modules"
del package-lock.json
del -f yarn.lock

# 👇️ clean your npm cache
npm cache clean --force

# 👇️ install packages
npm install

Make sure to restart your IDE and dev server if the error persists. VS Code often glitches and a reboot solves things sometimes.

Now you should be able to import and use the @emotion/react package.

App.js

Copied!
/** @jsxImportSource @emotion/react */
import {jsx, css, Global, ClassNames} from '@emotion/react';

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <p
        css={css`
          color: red;
        `}
      >
        Hello world
      </p>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

# Verify `@emotion/react` is in your `dependencies` object

If you still get the error, open your package.json file and make sure it contains the @emotion/react package in the dependencies object.

package.json

Copied!
{
  // ... rest
  "dependencies": {
    "@emotion/core": "^11.0.0",
    "@emotion/react": "^11.8.2",
    "@emotion/styled": "^11.8.1",
  },
}

The @emotion/react 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.

shell

Copied!
npm install

issue npm install command
