Peer Dependency conflict in React 17 project and npm7

This is due to the updates to npm in NPM 7 https://github.blog/2021-02-02-npm-7-is-now-generally-available/#peer-dependencies and is causing an npm install to fail under npm 7 while working under npm 6

I suspect updating the react and react-dom peer dependencies to "^16.9.0 - 17" should suffice

Until this issue is fixed, installing sortablejs with the --force flag worked for me

npm install --save react-sortablejs sortablejs --force
