how to resolve this error please

Answer 1

I found a solution for that. I have read the package.json of typeorm, and found out that typeorm imports different libraries for different environment (node or browser). In some cases, we want to use database server-side, however, typeorm is seen as a client-side dependency, and it will assume it's under browser environment and require react-native packages. To handle this, just add this into your project's package.json:

  "browser": {
    "typeorm": false
  }
