Not compatible with React ^17

[riceball1]

Tried this with react ^17.0.2 installed, but got the following error when trying to npm i react-textfit

Could not resolve dependency:
npm ERR! peer react@"^15.0.0 || ^16.0.0" from react-textfit@1.1.1
npm ERR! node_modules/react-textfit

Should work with --force

This os the problem I m gettinng after using npm i react-textfit --force

[pberlia0202]

also after using --force, localhost stops working

[Jennydunix]

Ok let's try again run the command
npm install react-textfit --save
on your terminal

I just tried it out on my react application and it worked

[QASIMMIRZA-007]

i was facing this same issue . After research i come to know that npm install react-textfit --save -force works and required module installed other wise you can try npm i react-textfit --save --legacy-peer-deps but my recommendation is npm install react-textfit --save -force.
