[victory-native] Require cycle: node_modules/victory-vendor/lib-vendor/d3-interpolate/src/value.js -> node_modules/victory-vendor/lib-vendor/d3-interpolate/src/object.js

[jpdriver]

This issue is intended to serve as a placeholder for anyone searching for a solution to this issue. We can also use this as a reference for any duplicate issues.

As of victory@36.4.0, React Native apps (on both iOS and Android) will warn about require cycles.

---

Explanation

These warnings are caused by the way certain d3 packages have been written. You can see circular dependencies in the original d3 source.

For example in object.js

import value from "./value.js";

then in value.js

import object from "./object.js";

However, it is important to note that this is not really an upstream issue. Circular dependencies are allowed in ES modules, which d3 targets. In React Native, they will not break any functionality but Metro will warn about them.

Solution

The maintainers discussed this internally, and ultimately agreed that for now we will provide additional guidance to disable the warnings via LogBox.
