[tellthemachines]

The block-editor package has react as a peer dependency, and react-autosize-textarea requires it. Do you have react installed in your project?

[n-for-all]

react-autosize-textarea requires react 16 and this library is already archived, gutenberg requires react 18, the installation doesn't work without -force install on npm

[tellthemachines]

It should work fine with react 18, as that's what gutenberg uses. That warning doesn't show when running npm i on the whole project, and checking the package-lock confirms the react-autosize-textarea version is 7.1.0 and the react version os 18.2.0.

I've experimented with removing react-autosize-textarea in favor of our built-in TextareaControl with field-sizing in #64208.

It's a bummer that it's blocked by field-sizing's browser support, but hopefully, this will change soon.
