NPM version requires ^3.0.0

[maniax89]

Description

This library requires the carat (^) of npm for 3.0.0 -> ^3.0.0

this causes issues for any packages consuming this library that require newer versions of npm because the ^ indicates that the left-most (major) version cannot be increased.

is there any reason we can't remove this restriction? or do newer versions of npm break this library?

have the same question, too.

[SKOLZ]

you can downgrade your node version to a version that uses npm 3.X.X and after installing return to your original node version.

[rzfang]

@SKOLZ On my dev, sure, I can do that. But some CI/CD process are untouchable.

[SKOLZ]

haha yes @rzfang I don't know how to make it work with a CI/CD without creating a PR to this lib to remove this kind of dependency. I used it and had to do that manually while developing and although I know it's a really horrible way to bypass the issue that's what worked for me. sorry for not being helpful enough :(

[SKOLZ]

thanks @mcallegari10

[rzfang]

@SKOLZ no worry. You gave a useful information. Thanks. And thanks @mcallegari10, too.

How about using react-lottie-player?

I had this issue when deploying to heroku, so using this in my package.json worked and making sure u ran in the version below did the magic!

  "engines": {
    "npm": "6.x",
    "node": "14.x"
  }

[mojirzg]

this error shows up every time i install a package

 Unsupported engine {
     package: '[email protected]',
     required: { npm: '^3.0.0' },
     current: { node: 'v16.13.0', npm: '8.1.0' }
 }

@chenqingspring Update this or deprecate the package.

[yamgarcia]

Almost 4 years and this is still not updated. I managed to fix but I also had to change the peerDependencies. And then I was able to deploy it.

"node_modules/react-lottie": {
  "version": "1.2.3",
  "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/react-lottie/-/react-lottie-1.2.3.tgz",
  "integrity": "sha512-qLCERxUr8M+4mm1LU0Ruxw5Y5Fn/OmYkGfnA+JDM/dZb3oKwVAJCjwnjkj9TMHtzR2U6sMEUD3ZZ1RaHagM7kA==",
  "dependencies": {
    "babel-runtime": "^6.26.0",
    "lottie-web": "^5.1.3"
  },
  "engines": {
    "npm": "6.x",
    "node": "14.x"
  },
  "peerDependencies": {
    "react": "*"
  }
},

To everyone who is complaining about the npm version issue, Copy the src/index.js file and uninstall this package. Thanks.

For everyone still asking, I replaced it with lottie-react and it works fine. Also passed the pipeline. Here is the link: https://www.npmjs.com/package/lottie-react
