cant use this library in react@18.2.0

[galmalka21]

are you going to update the library soon to be able to run in react@18.2.0?

[Rehankhalil462]

@galmalka21 use --legacy-peer-deps flag while installing this package. It will work with react@18.2.0.

For those who are attempting to deploy to Vercel, keep in mind the following steps: Go to Settings > General > Build & Development Settings. Then, override the Install Command by using either npm install --force or npm install --legacy-peer-deps.

Big issue tbh. If someone created a fork to fix this please drop it here. Thanks.

If this is still relevant, there's a similiar version that works (idk if its forked from this one though but it is based on this)

Even I need a solution. I migrated ReactJs from 16 to 18. Now react-qr-reader is throwing error.

You can try this.

Just run npm i --legacy-peer-deps react-qr-reader, then in your generated package-lock.json rewrite peerDependencies in node_mobules/react-qr-reader field. Lastly, run npm i. Everything should work.

I'm not sure if i'm totally right, but just ignoring dependency issues is not the best way forward. this issue should be fixed
