Change some dependencies to `peerDependencies` to use them in different applications

Author: meluizCreated Jul 4, 2024Updated Jan 16, 2026

What is the current behavior? I am currently receiving an error when using react-use in React Native applications.

Steps to reproduce it and if possible a minimal demo of the problem. Your bug will get fixed much faster if we can run your code and it doesn't have extra dependencies other than react-use. Paste the link to your JSFiddle or CodeSandbox example below:

  1. yarn add react-use
  2. yarn start

What is the expected behavior?

It is expected that some hooks, which rely exclusively on the browser to run, should treat their dependencies as peerDependencies and make it optional to download them for use.

An example I can mention is useCss, which depends on nano-css. Even if I don't use useCss in the React Native application, I receive an error due to the nano-css dependency, where there is a check for a global variable that does not exist in a mobile environment.

A little about versions:

  • OS: macOs Sonoma v14.5
  • Browser (vendor and version):
  • React: v18.2.0
  • react-use: v17.5.0
  • Did this worked in the previous package version?
