'Error: Unable to resolve module `react-native-gesture-handler`

I try to use navigate in react-native.. I added : npm install --save react-navigation

but it gives me an error like this :

error: bundling failed: Error: Unable to resolve module react-native-gesture-handler from C:\reactnative\proejectName\node_modules\@react-navigation\native\src\Scrollables.js: Module react-native-gesture-handler does not exist in the Haste module map

this is index :

import { AppRegistry } from 'react-native';
import App from './App';
import { name as appName } from './app.json';

AppRegistry.registerComponent(appName, () => App);

This is app.js

import React from 'react';
import { createStackNavigator, createAppContainer, } from 'react-navigation';
import First from './src/Components/First';
import DescriptionPage from './src/Components/DescriptionPage';


const Navigation = createStackNavigator({
  First: {
    screen: First,
  },
  DescriptionPage: {
    screen: DescriptionPage,
  },
});

const App = createAppContainer(Navigation);

export default App;

this is package.json :

{
  "name": "ProjectName",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start",
    "test": "jest"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "react": "16.8.3",
    "react-native": "0.59.1",

    "react-navigation": "^3.5.1"
  },
  "devDependencies": {

  },
  "jest": {

  }
}

react-native

Solution 1:^[1]

You need to install react-native-gesture-handler as well separately in the project dependency list and link it too with native as well. Please refer to this doc.

Solution 2:^[2]

Use the following command to install

yarn add react-native-gesture-handler

Then link the library in the specific project

react-native link react-native-gesture-handler

Solution 3:^[3]

Gesture Handler not found in your react native project. run this command

npm install react-native-gesture-handler

Solution 4:^[4]

In my case react-native-gesture-handler was installed but I uninstalled it and re-installed again.

1: uninstall

npm uninstall react-native-gesture-handler --save

2: install

npm install react-native-gesture-handler --save

3: link

react-native link react-native-gesture-handler

4: Restart npm

npm restart

npm start

Solution 5:^[5]

Had the same issue. Solved it by:

npm uninstall react-native-gesture-handler --save

npm install react-native-gesture-handler --save

Solution 6:^[6]

In case you are using expo, you have to install it through expo command:

expo install react-native-gesture-handler

Solution 7:^[7]

For newcomers here:

If you are using expo, you can simply run the following command to install the appropriate version for your react native version

react-native-gesture-handler

Note that createStackNavigator has been moved to react-navigation-stack, so the right import becomes :

import { createStackNavigator } from 'react-navigation-stack';
import {createAppContainer } from 'react-navigation';

Solution 8:^[8]

If you have started your application before installing dependencies, you might need to reinstall the application again on your phone or emulator. That was the case for me.

After installing dependencies as shown in the docs, I needed to:

Remove the application from emulator
Run yarn android (or npm run android) again through terminal

NOTE: I am NOT using Expo

Solution 9:^[9]

If you are upgrading to SDK 39.

Run This Command :

expo install react-native-gesture-handler react-native-reanimated react-native-screens react-native-safe-area-context @react-native-community/masked-view

Solution 10:^[10]

Make sure your react-navigation version 3.11.0.

And then npm install react-native-gesture-handler command

Solution 11:^[11]

use the following commands to install

yarn add react-native-gesture-handler

For React Native versions < v 59.x, link the library in the specific project

react-native link react-native-gesture-handler

Solution 12:^[12]

It's working

"react-native-gesture-handler": "^1.8.0",

use this instead of

"react-native-gesture-handler": "1.8.0",

remove ^

Solution 13:^[13]

I sometimes have this issue where even after installing the npm package it will still throw errors. You could try adding the following line to the top level component/file of your app e.g. index.js

import "react-native-gesture-handler"

Solution 14:^[14]

yarn add react-native-gesture-handler

Or with npm if you prefer:

npm install --save react-native-gesture-handler

Solution 15:^[15]

I had the same issue, in my case, installation of the react-native-gesture-handler itself was failing. I was using react-native version 0.61.5. Due to some reasons latest version of the react-native-gesture-handler was not getting installed with my project. I solved the error by installing specific version of the react-native-gesture-handler.

   npm install --save [email protected]

Solution 16:^[16]

I solved this issue by:

Running npx react-native link react-native-gesture-handler
Uninstalling the debug application from the device
Running npx react-native run-android

Solution 17:^[17]

If you are running mac please do the following:

Remove node_modules and package-lock.json
npm install
npm install --save react-navigation
npm install --save react-native-gesture-handler
cd ios
pod install

Then run again

Solution 18:^[18]

For me, and this is a weird one. I had the react-native start terminal window already open and running the metro bundler for another/different RN app already running. After I killed it, and re-ran yarn ios, and it reopened its own metro bundler window -my error was gone

Solution 19:^[19]

If you're using react-navigation v6, you don't need react-native-gesture-handler you can just remove it, with

npm uninstall react-native-gesture-handler

mind you, its with only version 6 that you're free to remove it

Solution 20:^[20]

If you already have install...

npm install react-native-gesture-handler

Make a import 'react-native-gesture-handler' On the first line of your App.js code (Attention must be on the first line, on top of all your code and any import)

Just uninstall your application running on your emulator or any physical device and run again (install again) and it will work..

Solution 21:^[21]

You are getting this error after installation of react-native-gesture-handler because your react-native version is less than react-native: "60" so after installation you have to link that module "react-native link react-native-gesture-handler". And build again it will resolve your error

Solution 22:^[22]

This error occurs for two main reasons.

If you didn't install react-native-gesture-handler, then npm or yarn install react-native-gesture-handler.
If you already did, then you need to rebuild your app, for android react-native run-android and for ios you should install pods then run again.

cd ios && pod install --repo-update && cd .. react-native run-ios

you may need to restart metro again, react-native start.
