Missing dependency
Required component or library not included.
[ FAQ1 ]
What is a missing dependency?
A missing dependency occurs when code relies on an external library, module, or resource that hasn't been installed, imported, or declared correctly. These errors frequently appear during application builds or runtime, particularly when using package managers (like npm) or frameworks (such as React's
useEffect). Symptoms include build failures, import errors, or runtime crashes due to unresolved modules or functions. Properly managing and declaring dependencies is crucial to ensuring reliable and predictable software operation.
[ FAQ2 ]
How to fix missing dependency errors
To fix missing dependency errors, verify that all required dependencies are correctly listed in your project's dependency files (such as
package.json in npm-based projects) and have been properly installed. Run commands like npm install or yarn install to ensure dependencies are fetched and configured correctly. Confirm that imports or require statements accurately reflect installed module names and file paths. Utilize dependency management tools and scripts to maintain consistent and complete dependencies, and regularly review build logs or error messages to promptly detect and resolve missing or improperly configured dependencies.diff block
