Fix 'react-native-sqlite-storage' Resolution Error in TypeORM Setup

Medium Risk

The error occurs because the 'react-native-sqlite-storage' package is not installed or not properly linked in the project, which is required for TypeORM to interact with SQLite databases in a React Native environment. Additionally, Webpack may not be configured correctly to handle the SQLite driver.

Awaiting Verification

Be the first to verify this fix

1
Install react-native-sqlite-storage
Ensure that the 'react-native-sqlite-storage' package is installed in your project. This package is necessary for SQLite operations in React Native.
bash
```
npm install react-native-sqlite-storage
```
2
Link the SQLite Storage Package
If you are using React Native CLI, link the package to your project to ensure it is properly integrated. This step may not be necessary for newer versions of React Native that support auto-linking.
bash
```
react-native link react-native-sqlite-storage
```
3
Update Webpack Configuration
Modify your Webpack configuration to ensure that it correctly resolves the SQLite driver. Add the following alias to your Webpack config:
javascript
```
resolve: { alias: { 'react-native-sqlite-storage': 'react-native-sqlite-storage/dist/index.js' } }
```
4
Clear Cache and Rebuild
Clear the cache and rebuild your project to ensure all changes are applied. This can help resolve any lingering issues from previous builds.
bash
```
npm start -- --reset-cache && npm run build
```
5
Test Database Connection
Run your application and test the database connection to verify that the issue is resolved. You can do this by executing a simple query to ensure TypeORM can interact with the SQLite database.
typescript
```
const connection = await createConnection({ type: 'react-native', database: 'test.db', driver: require('react-native-sqlite-storage') });
```

Validation

Confirm that the application runs without the 'Can't resolve react-native-sqlite-storage' error and that you can successfully execute a database query using TypeORM.

Fix 'react-native-sqlite-storage' Resolution Issue in TypeORM

Medium Risk

The error occurs because the 'react-native-sqlite-storage' package is not properly installed or linked in the project, and TypeORM cannot find it when attempting to use it as a driver for SQLite databases in a React Native environment.

Awaiting Verification

Be the first to verify this fix

1
Install 'react-native-sqlite-storage'
Ensure that the 'react-native-sqlite-storage' package is installed in your project. This package is required for TypeORM to interact with SQLite databases in React Native.
bash
```
npm install react-native-sqlite-storage
```
2
Link the SQLite Storage Package
If you are using React Native CLI, link the package to your project. This step is necessary for the native modules to be recognized by the React Native application.
bash
```
react-native link react-native-sqlite-storage
```
3
Update Webpack Configuration
Ensure your Webpack configuration is set up to handle the SQLite storage correctly. You may need to add an alias for 'react-native-sqlite-storage' in your Webpack config.
javascript
```
resolve: { alias: { 'react-native-sqlite-storage': 'react-native-sqlite-storage/dist/index.js' } }
```
4
Check TypeORM Configuration
Verify that your TypeORM configuration is correctly set to use the 'react-native-sqlite-storage' driver. Ensure that the driver is specified in your connection options.
typescript
```
const connectionOptions = { type: 'react-native', database: 'test.db', driver: require('react-native-sqlite-storage') };
```
5
Rebuild the Project
After making the changes, rebuild your project to ensure that all configurations and dependencies are properly applied.
bash
```
npm run android || npm run ios
```

Validation

Run your application and check if the error regarding 'react-native-sqlite-storage' is resolved. You should be able to connect to the SQLite database without encountering the previous error.
