Module not found: Can't resolve 'firebase' in

After: npm i firebase

I'am importing firebase from firebase itself & not from a file

import firebase from 'firebase'; >in firebase.js file<

error in terminal>> ./src/firebase.js Module not found: Can't resolve 'firebase' in 'C:\Users\Home\Documents\dsn\e\Documents..........'

npm i firebase now installs v9 Modular SDK so you cannot used the old imports. Try refactoring your code to this:

import { initializeApp } from 'firebase/app';

const firebaseConfig = {
  //...
};

const app = initializeApp(firebaseConfig);

If you want to use older syntax then change your imports to compat libraries:

import firebase from "firebase/compat/app"
import "firebase/compat/auth"
import "firebase/compat/firestore"
// other services is needed

You can read more about it in the documentation

There should be no reason to downgrade to version 8 as version 9 provides a fully backward compatible import if you prefix the module import path with "compat".

To use:

import firebase from "firebase/compat/app";
// Other libraries might need to also be prefixed with "compat":
import "firebase/compat/auth";

// Then you can then use the old interface, with version 9:
if (!firebase.apps.length) {
  firebase.initializeApp(clientCredentials);
}
