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

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.
