This post goes over how to fix React Native Redux Toolkit error (see #4324).

Error

When I ran the build after upgrading Redux Toolkit in my React Native app:

npx react-native bundle --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output bundle.js --reset-cache

I got the error:

error node_modules/@reduxjs/toolkit/dist/query/cjs/rtk-query.production.min.cjs: Unexpected token: operator (?) in file node_modules/@reduxjs/toolkit/dist/query/cjs/rtk-query.production.min.cjs at 878:32.

Fix

I was on an older React Native version (<0.72) so I had to update metro.config.js to fix the error.

sourceExts

Since Redux was rewritten to .cjs extension, I updated resolver.sourceExts to include the extension:

const { sourceExts } = require('metro-config/src/defaults/defaults');

module.exports = {
  resolver: {
    sourceExts: sourceExts.concat('cjs'),
  },
};

resolveRequest

I updated resolver.resolveRequest to use a legacy Redux dist file:

const { resolve } = require('path');
// ...

module.exports = {
  resolver: {
    // ...
    resolveRequest(context, moduleName, platform) {
      if (moduleName === '@reduxjs/toolkit/query') {
        return {
          type: 'sourceFile',
          filePath: resolve(
            __dirname,
            'node_modules/@reduxjs/toolkit/dist/query/rtk-query.legacy-esm.js',
          ),
        };
      }
    },
  },
};

After running the build:

npx react-native bundle --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output bundle.js --reset-cache

It succeeded:
