Can't import react-native-web

Expo Development Tools

It doesn’t appear that I can import from react-native-web in a Snack. Is that expected behavior? I was a bit surprised, given that there is the Web tab for previewing, which presumably is using react-native-web.

Thanks in advance.

Hey @thunkmark, what exactly do you mean by “import from rn-web”?

Cheers,

For example, if I have the following in a Snack I get an error:

import { unstable_createElement } from 'react-native-web';

The error I get in the Web preview tab is:

Unable to resolve module 'module://react-native-web.js'

I get the same error, with a similar stack trace, if I use the iOS or Android preview tabs.
