Try to Use Version 2.10
If you’re encountering issues when installing Chakra UI v2.10 with React, there could be several potential causes. Let’s troubleshoot the issue step-by-step.
Common Issues and Troubleshooting Steps
1. Incorrect Version Installation
Ensure that you’re explicitly installing Chakra UI v2.10 and the correct versions of its dependencies. If you’re using npm
or yarn
, double-check that you’re specifying @chakra-ui/react@2.10
.
bash
Copy code
npm install @chakra-ui/react@2.10 @emotion/react @emotion/styled framer-motion
bash
Copy code
yarn add @chakra-ui/react@2.10 @emotion/react @emotion/styled framer-motion
2. Compatibility Issues with React or Other Dependencies
Chakra UI v2.10 might have compatibility issues with specific versions of React or other dependencies in your project. Check the following:
- Chakra UI 2.x requires React 17 or later.
- Ensure that your other dependencies, especially Emotion and Framer Motion, are compatible with Chakra UI v2.10.
To check your versions:
- Check your
package.json
for React and Chakra UI version numbers.
- Run the following commands to check the installed versions:
bash
Copy code
npm list react
npm list @chakra-ui/react
or if you’re using yarn:
bash
Copy code
yarn list react
yarn list @chakra-ui/react
If React is older than v17, you might need to upgrade it:
bash
Copy code
npm install react@latest react-dom@latest
3. Peer Dependency Warnings
When you install Chakra UI, you might see peer dependency warnings for @emotion/react
, @emotion/styled
, or framer-motion
. Make sure to install the versions of these libraries that are compatible with Chakra UI v2.10.
- Chakra UI v2.10 requires
@emotion/react
, @emotion/styled
, and framer-motion
. You can install specific versions by running the following:
bash
Copy code
npm install @emotion/react@latest @emotion/styled@latest framer-motion@latest
4. Clear Cache and Reinstall Dependencies
Sometimes, issues may arise from cached files or partial installs. Try clearing your npm/yarn cache and reinstalling the dependencies.
For npm:
bash
Copy code
npm cache clean --force
rm -rf node_modules
rm package-lock.json
npm install
For yarn:
bash
Copy code
yarn cache clean
rm -rf node_modules
rm yarn.lock
yarn install
5. Check for Errors in the Console
After running npm install
or yarn install
, check the terminal for any errors or warnings. These can often provide clues about what’s going wrong.

6. Ensure Proper Imports in Your Files
Make sure you’re importing Chakra UI components correctly in your files. Chakra UI components are imported from @chakra-ui/react
. For example:
jsx
Copy code
import { Button, Box, Text } from '@chakra-ui/react';
7. Issues Related to ChakraProvider
Setup
After installing Chakra UI, you must wrap your application in the ChakraProvider
component to apply Chakra’s global styles.
Ensure that you have set up your index.js
or main.js
file correctly:
jsx
Copy code
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { ChakraProvider } from '@chakra-ui/react';
import App from './App';
import './index.css';
ReactDOM.render(
<React.StrictMode>
<ChakraProvider>
<App />
</ChakraProvider>
</React.StrictMode>,
document.getElementById('root')
);
If you forget to wrap your app in the ChakraProvider
, Chakra UI components will not be styled as expected.
8. React Strict Mode Issues
In rare cases, issues with React Strict Mode can cause unexpected behaviors with certain libraries. If you’re running into errors, try disabling Strict Mode temporarily in your index.js
:
jsx
Copy code
ReactDOM.render(
<ChakraProvider>
<App />
</ChakraProvider>,
document.getElementById('root')
);
If this fixes the issue, you may need to identify the specific package or feature causing the issue when running React in Strict Mode.
