Solve - Module not found: Can't resolve 'react/jsx-runtime' #

To solve the error "Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'react/jsx-runtime'", make sure to update the react package by opening your terminal in your project's root directory and running the command npm install react@latest react-dom@latest and restart your dev server.

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

Copied!
# 👇️ with NPM
npm install react@latest react-dom@latest

# 👇️ ONLY If you use TypeScript
npm install --save-dev @types/react@latest @types/react-dom@latest

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

# 👇️ with YARN
yarn add react@latest react-dom@latest

# 👇️ ONLY If you use TypeScript
yarn add @types/react@latest @types/react-dom@latest --dev

The command will update the version of your react package.

Copied!
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    // 👇️ make sure it's set to react-jsx
    "jsx": "react-jsx"
    // ... rest
  },
  // ... rest
}

When the jsx option is set to react-jsx, it causes the compiler to emit .js files with the JSX changed to _jsx calls.

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.

Copied!
# 👇️ 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 'react/jsx-runtime'" error, open your package.json file and make sure it contains the react package in the dependencies object.

Copied!
{
  // ... rest
  "dependencies": {
    "react": "^18.0.0",
    "react-dom": "^18.0.0",
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/react": "^18.0.5",
    "@types/react-dom": "^18.0.1",
  }
}

The 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 lines and re-run npm install.

Copied!
npm install

Or install the latest version of the package:

Copied!
# 👇️ with NPM
npm install react@latest react-dom@latest

# 👇️ ONLY If you use TypeScript
npm install --save-dev @types/react@latest @types/react-dom@latest

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

# 👇️ with YARN
yarn add react@latest react-dom@latest

# 👇️ ONLY If you use TypeScript
yarn add @types/react@latest @types/react-dom@latest --dev
