Clean Install of Storybook for React Native causes TypeScript compiler error about react-native HOT 1 CLOSED

I was able to remove the errors caused by lodash by installing its type definitions:

npm i -D @types/[email protected]

Then go to your package.json and remove the ~ or ^ in front of the version:

    "@types/lodash": "4.14.160"

If you install the latest version of the type definitions you will encounter the following error:

node_modules/@storybook/client-api/dist/story_store.d.ts:50:42 - error TS7016: Could not find a declaration file for module 'lodash'. '/Users/tsetso/git/howthrive/HowThriveApp/node_modules/lodash/lodash.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.
  Try `npm install @types/lodash` if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing `declare module 'lodash';`

50     pushToManager: (() => void) & import("lodash").Cancelable;

That's why you must explicitly forbid any possible updates to this package (even minor ones usually cause breaking changes in type definitions).

To remove the error caused by the missing Window object, create a index.d.ts file if you don't already have one and add this:

declare global {
  interface Window {
    location: any;
  }
}

from react-native.
