Reactjs – How can I resolve the 'ReferenceError: Request is not defined' error that occurs every time I run the npm start command?

I’m encountering a ‘ReferenceError: Request is not defined’ error every time I run npm start in my Node.js environment, and I suspect it’s stemming from the environmental file "node_modules/@expo/server/src/environment.ts".

Here’s a snippet of the environment file:

"use strict";
Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true });
exports.installGlobals = exports.ExpoResponse = exports.ExpoRequest = void 0;
/* eslint-disable no-var */
const node_1 = require("@remix-run/node");
/** @deprecated */
exports.ExpoRequest = Request;
/** @deprecated */
exports.ExpoResponse = Request;
function installGlobals() {
  (0, node_1.installGlobals)();
  global.ExpoRequest = Request;
  global.ExpoResponse = Response;
}
exports.installGlobals = installGlobals;

However, I’m unsure why this error is occurring. Whenever I start Metro Bundler, it throws the error:

I would appreciate any insights or suggestions for resolving this issue. Thank you!
