TypeError: Object(...) is not a function in react-redux

While I was trying to createStore in react-redux I get this strange error. I don't know why as I did this before in different app there it was working fine.

TypeError: Object(...) is not a function

this is my file

index.js

import { createStore, applyMiddleware} from 'redux';
import { composeWithDevtools } from 'redux-devtools-extension';
import thunk from 'redux-thunk';
import { Provider } from 'react-redux';
import App from './App';
import rootReducer from './rootReducer';
import registerServiceWorker from './registerServiceWorker';

const store = createStore(
    rootReducer,
    composeWithDevtools(applyMiddleware(thunk))
);


ReactDOM.render(
<BrowserRouter>
    <Provider store={store}>
        <App />
    </Provider>
</BrowserRouter>
, document.getElementById('root'));
registerServiceWorker();

rootReducer

import { combineReducers } from 'redux'; import user from './reducers/user';

export default combineReducers({
    user });

reducer/user

import { USER_LOGGED_IN } from '../types';

export default function user(state = {}, action={}) {
    switch (action.type) {
        case USER_LOGGED_IN:
            return action.user;
        default:
            return state;
    } }

Solution

I had the same issue: I could get it to work on a test app and couldnt move it across to my main project. Checked all of the code 100 times and researched widely but couldnt find anything to make connect() work without it throwing "TypeError: Object(…) is not a function"

In the end all that was required was to update react and react-DOM in my main project as i was running a new version of redux with old react.

Just run the below in your project folder.

npm update
