javascript - Proper mechanism to downgrade react-native

Question

My situation is this :

I had a working copy of a react-native project that was working well. Had it commited to my git repository.

I decided to upgrade react-native to 0.26.3 and then 0.28 and finally ended up in a big dependency mess with collisions. So decided to go back to previous working version. Reverted the changes. Removed node_modules folder from my working directory.

But now npm install just won't work.

My working dependencies in package.json

  "dependencies": {
    "immutable": "^3.8.1",
    "key-mirror": "^1.0.1",
    "react": "^15.0.2",
    "react-native": "^0.26.0",
    "react-native-router-flux": "^3.26.1",
    "react-redux": "^4.4.5",
    "redux": "^3.5.2",
    "redux-thunk": "^2.1.0",
    "strformat": "0.0.7"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "babel-core": "^6.10.4",
    "babel-jest": "^12.1.0",
    "babel-preset-es2015": "^6.9.0",
    "babel-preset-react-native": "^1.9.0",
    "babel-register": "^6.9.0",
    "chai": "^3.5.0",
    "fetch-mock": "^4.5.4",
    "jest-cli": "^12.1.1",
    "mocha": "^2.5.3",
    "mockery": "^1.7.0",
    "nock": "^8.0.0",
    "redux-mock-store": "^1.1.1",
    "sinon": "^1.17.4",
    "sinon-chai": "^2.8.0",
    "sinon-stub-promise": "^2.0.0"
  }

Now I get

npm ERR! peerinvalid The package react@15.1.0 does not satisfy its siblings' peerDependencies requirements!
npm ERR! peerinvalid Peer react-native@0.26.3 wants react@15.0.2
npm ERR! peerinvalid Peer react-redux@4.4.5 wants react@^0.14.0 || ^15.0.0-0

This just not makes sense to me, as my react dependency is 15.0.2 and react-native 0.26.0 as you can see in package.json.

Note that this is from a previous commit that was working (the whole lot). I also did a npm ls. Weirdly wrong dependencies are shown in the tree like wrong versions of react-native, react-native-router-flux, react.

For existing projects if you want to install/downgrade to lower version

npm install react-native@x.x.x  ex: npm install react-native@0.43.4

This will install the version specified.

Check the installed version with react-native --version
