How can I safely upgrade my React version from 16 to 18 when one of the dependencies, ‘styled-components-modifiers,’ is currently using the latest version 1.2.5 that is known to be compatible with React 16?
I’m looking to upgrade my React version for styled-components, but I’m facing a challenge because one of the dependencies, styled-components-modifiers, is currently compatible with React 16 and not React 18. How can I proceed with the React upgrade while ensuring compatibility with styled-components-modifiers?
I am getting
"npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree
npm ERR!
npm ERR! While resolving: [email protected]
npm ERR! Found: [email protected]
npm ERR! node_modules/styled-components

npm ERR! node_modules/styled-components-modifiers

this error whenever I am trying to upgrade it to the latest version.
Also I upgraded the styled components version from ^5.3.3 to ^6.1.1.

Consider using Yarn to address dependency conflicts.
If you want to upgrade React from 16 to 18 you need to upgrade all the dependansies for it also.
you can create new react project and see what are the main react 18 dependasies and upgrade them.
Also i think you may need to delete your package-lock and reinstall your dependasies.
