Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'React' in '/home/capaj/project/node_modules/react-visibility-sensor/dist'

See original GitHub issue

I have webpack 4 and react-visibility-sensor 5.0.2 and when I import like this: import VisibilitySensor from "react-visibility-sensor" I get

ERROR in ../node_modules/react-visibility-sensor/dist/visibility-sensor.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'React' in '/home/capaj/git_projects/looop/project-alpha/node_modules/react-visibility-sensor/dist'

when I change to import the source file: import VisibilitySensor from 'react-visibility-sensor/visibility-sensor'

it works great.

The webpack thingy seems to think I the app run in an UMD loader and hence it tries to load deps from globals.

Actually on second thought, it is better to configure webpack to skip transpilation for react-visibility-sensor instead of importing what is essentially a private file. If this package changed its file structure that could cause your code to crash. So instead configure babel-loader as follows and leave your imports and jest config alone!

{
  test: /\.js?$/,
  use: {
    loader: 'babel-loader',
    options: {
      cacheDirectory: true
    }
  },
  exclude: /node_modules\/react-visibility-sensor\/.*/
}
