React Native error: Element type is invalid: expected a string or a class/function but got: object

I am getting this error and I am having a lot of trouble fixing this.

What I am trying to do here is have 3 different screens and have a tabbar that navigates to each screen.

Here is my index:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { AppRegistry, Navigator, StyleSheet, View, Text } from 'react-native';

import Nav from './app/components/Nav';
import Screen from './app/Screen';

import Tabs from 'react-native-tabs'

import SwitchView from './SwitchView';

class Proj extends Component {

constructor(props){
    super(props);
}

render(){
    var x = "FeedView";
    return(

          <View style={styles.container}>
            <Tabs selected={x} style={{backgroundColor:'white'}}
                  selectedStyle={{color:'red'}} onSelect={el=> {x = el.props.name}}>
                <Text name="FeedView">First</Text>
                <Text name="WikiView" selectedIconStyle={{borderTopWidth:2,borderTopColor:'red'}}>Second</Text>
                <Text name="BoardView">Third</Text>
            </Tabs>

            <SwitchView id={x}/>

          </View>
    );
}
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
backgroundColor: '#F5FCFF',
},
welcome: {
fontSize: 20,
textAlign: 'center',
margin: 10,
},
instructions: {
textAlign: 'center',
color: '#333333',
marginBottom: 5,
},
})

AppRegistry.registerComponent('Proj', () => Proj);

here is my SwitchView:

import Feed from './app/pages/Feed/Feed';
import Board from './app/pages/Board';
import Wiki from './app/pages/Wiki';

class SwitchView extends Component {
render(){
    var { id } = this.props;

    switch (id) {
        case "FeedView":
            return <Feed/>
        case "WikiView":
            return <Wiki/>
        case "BoardView":
            return <Board/>
    }
}
}

Solution 1:

This is probably caused by some JS module export/import issues in your program, typically for one of the two reasons listed below:

• You forget to export, or you export something incorrectly
• You import something that doesn't exist, or you import something incorrectly

I ran into similar error, but in my case, it is not caused by export but caused by import, and I used the import statement incorrectly to import something that doesn't exist in the module.

In my case, the import was incorrectly written as:

import { MyComponent } from './MyComponents/MyComponent'

while actually it should be:

import MyComponent from './MyComponents/MyComponent'

And it drove me crazy and took me a whole day to figure it out and I hope this will save several hours for some people.

Solution 2:

Change your SwitchView definition to

export default class SwitchView extends Component...

Solution 3:

Modify your SwitchView to this:

import Feed from './app/pages/Feed/Feed';
import Board from './app/pages/Board';
import Wiki from './app/pages/Wiki';
export default class SwitchView extends Component {
render(){
    var { id } = this.props;

    switch (id) {
        case "FeedView":
            return <Feed/>
        case "WikiView":
            return <Wiki/>
        case "BoardView":
            return <Board/>
    }
}
}
