I want to use the plain-draggable library with my React app. To package.json I added: "plain-draggable": "^2.5.14",
Then I ran npm i. Upon starting the app using react-scripts start I see the error in the console:
`Module not found: Can't resolve 'anim-event' in '/Users/use/app/tom/new_version/app/node_modules/plain-draggable'`
I then go into the module with cd node_modules/plain-draggable and run npm i. Now it works, but I need to do this every time I run the app. How can I fix this?
You can install the missing dependencies in your main project rather than going to the node_modules folder and reinstalling it each time.
Try it in the root directory of your application;
npm install --save anim-event cssprefix m-class-list pointer-event
You are facing this problem because there are quite a few dependencies in the plain-draggable, which should have been part of dependencies but are declared inside devDependencies. Check below snapshot from Github
As stated by @ozan-yurtsever, you need to install those dependencies along with plain-draggable and add it to your own dependencies section.
