Could not find a declaration file for module 'react-dom'

Question

I've installer React project with Typescript:

npx create-react-app my-app --template typescript

After I run the app with npm run start

I get this error:

TypeScript error in C:/Users/neman/Desktop/projects/redux-saga-ts-boilerplate/src/index.tsx(2,22):
Could not find a declaration file for module 'react-dom'. 'C:/Users/neman/Desktop/projects/redux-saga-ts-boilerplate/node_modules/react-dom/index.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.
  If the 'react-dom' package actually exposes this module, consider sending a pull request to amend 'https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/tree/master/types/react-dom`  TS7016

    1 | import React from 'react';
  > 2 | import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
      |                      ^
    3 | import './index.css';
    4 | import App from './App';
    5 | import * as serviceWorker from './serviceWorker';

This is my package.json

{
  "name": "redux-saga-ts-boilerplate",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "@testing-library/jest-dom": "^4.2.4",

  },
  "scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "reinstall": "rm -rf ./node_modules && npm install",

    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
  },
  "eslintConfig": {

    "development": [
      "last 1 chrome version",
      "last 1 firefox version",
      "last 1 safari version"
    ]
  }
}

As you can see I do have "@types/react-dom" installed

This is my tsconfig.json file:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es5",
    "lib": [
      "dom",
      "dom.iterable",
      "esnext"
    ],
    "allowJs": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "strict": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "module": "esnext",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "isolatedModules": true,
    "noEmit": true,
    "jsx": "react"
  },
  "include": ["src"]
}

So, what is the problem here?

Answer 1

this one is very common issue if not fixed still your project work but this not good way to work study every thing and solved that problem then must go .

npm install --save @types/react-dom

this command work.

Answer 2

I had the same issue. Figured it out after coming across the answer to a slightly different problem. Try this:

npm install --save @types/react-dom

Hope this works for you!
