If you have a dependency conflict, "npm install --legacy-peer-deps" should work for you otherwise a temporary solution is using older versions of the "react": "^16.9.0", which worked for me.

None of the above mentioned ideas worked for me, so I forked this project and patched for React 17.

Hi I'm using react 18, can you guide me how to fork the project?

Can I use this library with react 16.8.0 ?
