Having axios as dependencie causing issue on react native monorepo

[SohelIslamImran]

Which package/packages do you use?

• @stream-io/video-react-native-sdk

Describe the bug
When I use the @stream-io/video-react-native-sdk in a monorepo expo app, I receive the following error

WARN  Attempted to import the module "/Users/sohelislamimran/Development/kuno-frontend/node_modules/@stream-io/react-native-webrtc/node_modules/event-target-shim/index" which is not listed in the "exports" of "/Users/sohelislamimran/Development/kuno-frontend/node_modules/@stream-io/react-native-webrtc/node_modules/event-target-shim" under the requested subpath "./index". Falling back to file-based resolution. Consider updating the call site or asking the package maintainer(s) to expose this API.

iOS Bundling failed 1011ms node_modules/expo-router/entry.js (3181 modules)
The package at "node_modules/axios/dist/node/axios.cjs" attempted to import the Node standard library module "crypto".
It failed because the native React runtime does not include the Node standard library.

This is because @stream-io/video-react-native-sdk have a dependencie @stream-io/video-client and it uses axios": "^1.8.1"

And that specific version of axios exports the node API in require.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a monorepo
2. Add a new expo app in the apps
3. install @stream-io/video-react-native-sdk and use it in the app
4. See error

Expected behavior
It should work without issue

hi @SohelIslamImran, thank you for raising this issue. We are aware of this problem and our colleague @santhoshvai has submitted a PR to Axios which unfortunately isn't accepted yet:

• fix: react native package exports support axios/axios#6802

Until Axios adjusts its package exports config, can you please try the suggested workarounds in the linked PR?

[SohelIslamImran]

Thank you so much...

Also, can you please look into this warning for @stream-io/react-native-webrtc? @oliverlaz

We can't set unstable_enablePackageExports to false, but I will patch axios for now.

Hi @SohelIslamImran, unfortunately, we can't do much here as well. This is a transitive dependency for us, and we don't own it.

[SohelIslamImran]

What do you mean you don't own it? @oliverlaz I can see you have a fork that you maintain and separately publish https://github.com/GetStream/react-native-webrtc
So I think you can make the changes.. Just need to add the exports field in the package.json I think.

hi @SohelIslamImran, the warning you see comes from event-target-shim.
This is a dependency of our @stream-io/react-native-webrtc and for it, we don't have ownership and we can't easily change.

The code itself has imports in the format of event-target-shim/index and they were added upstream:

• Try and force the use of the correct event-target-shim module. react-native-webrtc/react-native-webrtc#1515

We tried fixing this at one point but we had to revert as we've hit the upstream issues too:

• fix: use default imports for event-target-shim react-native-webrtc#3
• Revert "fix: use default imports for event-target-shim" react-native-webrtc#4

Hi @SohelIslamImran, I'm going to close this issue now.
Please let us know if you experience any other issues, we'll be happy to help.
