React Dependencies Analysis and Solution

Identified Issues

1. Duplicate React Dependencies:

   • The root project has React ^18 as a peer dependency
   • The example folder also has React ^18 as a direct dependency
   • Both projects are using Next.js, with the example using version ^15.1.3 and the root project also using ^15.1.3

2. Package Structure Issues:

   • The root project is a UI component library that should have React as a peer dependency (which it correctly does)
   • The example project should be using the root project as a dependency, but there's no local link setup visible

Recommended Solutions

1. Update Example Project's package.json:

   • Remove the direct Next.js dependency from the root project since it's a UI component library
   • Update the example project to use a stable version of Next.js (version 15 is not a valid version - latest stable is 14.x)
   • Add a local link to the root project in the example's dependencies

2. Required Changes:

   In the root package.json:

   - Remove "@types/next": "^9.0.0"
   - Remove "next": "^15.1.3"

   In the example package.json:

   {
     "dependencies": {
       "next": "^14.2.13",
       "@nodegeeks/ui-components": "file:../",
       // ... other dependencies
     }
   }

3. Setup Instructions:

   1. First, build the root project: npm run build
   2. In the example folder, run: npm install
   3. In the example folder, run: npm link ../
   4. Start the development server: npm run dev

This should resolve the React-related compilation issues by ensuring proper dependency management and preventing duplicate React instances.
