React Native—react-native-dotenv error: api.addExternalDependency is not a function
I am using Expo (version: ~47.0.12) with React Native (version: 0.70.5), and I am unable to use the react-native-dotenv
npm package. I have followed many tutorials, and they all result in this same error message:
./node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js
TypeError: [BABEL] /Users/jessicagallagher/projects/sfl/sfl-mobile/node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js: api.addExternalDependency is not a function (While processing: "/Users/jessicagallagher/projects/sfl/sfl-mobile/node_modules/react-native-dotenv/index.js")
The tutorials that I have used are basically blogs stating the same information from the docs.
This is my babel.config.js
file:
module.exports = function(api) {
api.cache(false);
return {
presets: ['babel-preset-expo'],
plugins: ['module:react-native-dotenv'],
};
};
I have also tried this in my babel.config.js
file:
"plugins": [
["module:react-native-dotenv", {
"moduleName": "@env",
"path": ".env",
"blocklist": null,
"allowlist": null,
"safe": false,
"allowUndefined": true,
}]
]
My .env
file is the standard .env
:
API_KEY='12345'
Here is my import statement to access the variable:
import { API_KEY } from '@env';
Normally in VS Code, when I start typing import { Something } from '
, I will normally get suggestions from packages I have installed. That does not happen here when using @env
—the suggestion does, however, show up when I import from 'react-native-dotenv'
, but I still get that same error message.
I've read a ton of GitHub issues and am just spinning my wheels at this point.
