Does somebody use this boilerplate? Am I the only won how tried yarn dev ?
how do you use it without yarn dev ?

taime · 2019-03-07T12:17:43Z

Here is the solution:
add this line:
var Element = typeof Element === "undefined" ? function () {} : Element;
in node_modules/react-router-dom/cjs/react-router-dom.js at 208s

mattcarlotta · 2019-03-09T01:54:13Z

I noticed this error too. Seems to happen randomly. Affects npm and yarn. Doesn't appear to be fixed in [email protected] either. While the above fix may work, it shouldn't be considered a long-term viable solution.

wellyshen · 2019-03-09T11:31:32Z

Waiting for the release of react-router to fix this bug (refer : remix-run/react-router#6607)

How to prevent react-router-dom.js from been rewritten?
(Every day I had to do this fix, and next day again i see original react-router-dom.js in node_modules folder, and again I see this error....)

wellyshen · 2019-03-10T06:22:49Z

@taime You can fork it and release a fixed version of repo. Then install the react-router-dom of yours.

mattcarlotta · 2019-03-10T07:49:01Z

I published a temporary fix, as such, this package will not be maintained and should only be used for development purposes only. The package is react-router-dom with the patch added, so technically you don't need react-router-dom as a dependency. However, if react-router-dom is ever updated beyond 4.4.0-beta.7, remove this package.

Click here for installation instructions.

wellyshen · 2019-03-11T13:21:52Z

@mattcarlotta Great solution atm 👍

@wellyshen How to install react-router-dom from fork?

taime · 2019-03-12T06:46:12Z

@mattcarlotta doesn't work, still got

/node_modules/react-router-dom/cjs/react-router-dom.js:209
    current: PropTypes.instanceOf(Element)
                                  ^

ReferenceError: Element is not defined

mattcarlotta · 2019-03-12T08:05:57Z

@taime I see the problem. I'll try to fix it later.

mattcarlotta · 2019-03-12T10:16:18Z

@taime I managed to fix the problem for the time being. Remove the old temp-react-router-dom package and reinstall. Remove the alias from the webpack.babel.config and you'll need to change all react-router-dom imports to temp-react-router-dom imports. I'll look for a better solution in the coming days.

wellyshen · 2019-03-12T10:57:11Z

@taime Plz refer here

taime · 2019-03-12T15:33:30Z

@martin2786 about your idea with aliaces, may be something like this should work

if (stage.startsWith('develop') && config.resolve) {
    config.resolve.alias = {
      ...config.resolve.alias,
      'react-dom': '@hot-loader/react-dom'
    }

@wellyshen thanks, but it looks like, I can not find in react-router repo place that should be fixed as I wrote above. Here is my fork repo https://github.com/taime/react-router, and I cant find react-router-dom.js there.

wellyshen · 2019-03-12T16:42:14Z

@taime After you build the library of react-router-dom, you can find where it's in here

mattcarlotta · 2019-03-12T17:44:04Z

Alrighty, round 2! There appears to be a problem with using webpack's alias and babel/register. So here's a work around:

Step 1: Run yarn add -D babel-plugin-module-resolver
Step 2: OPTIONAL - Run yarn remove react-router-dom
Step 3: Run yarn add temp-react-router-dom
Step 4: In the package.json's babel config, add the following to the plugins:

"plugins": [
      [
        "module-resolver",
        {
          "alias": {
            "react-router-dom": "temp-react-router-dom"
          }
        }
      ],

Step 5: Continue to use react-router-dom for import statements.

taime · 2019-03-14T14:01:55Z

@mattcarlotta
Did exactly this steps. Got this error:

/Users/tema/Sites/controlumMTS/SkedFrontend/node_modules/@babel/core/lib/config/full.js:135
    throw e;
    ^

Error: [BABEL] /Users/tema/Sites/controlumMTS/SkedFrontend/tools/webpack/hooks.js: .alias is not a valid Plugin property

Have you tried this steps for yourself for clean install react-cool-starte? Does it work?

taime · 2019-03-14T14:32:39Z

By the way, I've found another solution.
just install "react-router-dom": "4.4.0-beta.6"

steps:

1) run

git clone https://github.com/wellyshen/react-cool-starter.git
cd react-cool-starter

2) edit package.json and change react-router-dom": "^4.4.0-beta.6 to react-router-dom": "4.4.0-beta.6

3) run

yarn
yarn dev

mattcarlotta · 2019-03-14T14:51:44Z

@taime Your problem is here:

Error: [BABEL] /Users/tema/Sites/controlumMTS/SkedFrontend/tools/webpack/hooks.js: .alias is not a valid Plugin property

You've added an .alias in the webpack/hooks file.

Anyway, try this forked version.

          }
        }
      ],
Step 5: Continue to use react-router-dom for import statements.

As of the latest NPM release (v6.9.0) there is now support for aliasing packages. I was able to accomplish the same thing without a change to my babel configuration by installing the packages like so:

npm install react-router-dom@npm:temp-react-router-dom

Side note: it looks like there aren't docs yet for the aliasing function within the install docs, but I was able to deduce the functionality from the corresponding test, found in test/tap/aliases.js here.

mattcarlotta · 2019-03-15T19:14:56Z

@parties Great find! That works well with one caveat: It shows up as installing react-router-dom, which may confuse inexperienced/unaware developers:

success Saved 1 new dependency.
info Direct dependencies
└─ [email protected]
info All dependencies
└─ [email protected]

Since this just a temporary fix, I want to make sure it's obvious that react-router-dom isn't installed and that temp-react-router-dom is an alias for react-router-dom.
