Tried this with react ^17.0.2 installed, but got the following error when trying to npm i react-textfit

Could not resolve dependency:
npm ERR! peer react@"^15.0.0 || ^16.0.0" from [email protected]
npm ERR! node_modules/react-textfit

[pberlia0202]

[Jennydunix]

npm install react-textfit --save
on your terminal

I just tried it out on my react application and it worked

[QASIMMIRZA-007]

i was facing this same issue . After research i come to know that npm install react-textfit --save -force works and required module installed other wise you can try npm i react-textfit --save --legacy-peer-deps but my recommendation is npm install react-textfit --save -force.

For me the problem is coming on deployment on vercel

[jujharsingh2802]

The problem I encountered was not in the app rather in deployement, but the problem was resolved after I downgraded my react version
