How to resolve the error on 'react-native start'

Question

1. I just installed node.js & cli

   • installed node.js

   • installed react-native-cli

     npm -g react-native-cli
     

Answer 1

As a general rule, I don't modify files within node_modules/ (or anything which does not get committed as part of a repository) as the next clean, build or update will regress them. I definitely have done so in the past and it has bitten me a couple of times. But this does work as a short-term/local dev fix until/unless metro-config is updated.

Thanks!
