NPM cannot resolve peer dependency when attempting to install component

[sven-gerlach]

I have created a simple useQueryStrings component (see below). I have uploaded this component into Bit cloud and attempted to install it in another project. However, npm throws an error (see below) since the installed react version is ^18 whilst the peer dependencies of the component require v16 || v17. How can I either relax that peer dependency constraint or add react v18 to the peer dependencies?

I should have read the docs more carefully. There are actually two solutions to this problem.

1. Amend the peer dependencies for existing components using the bit deps command.
2. Create a custom env template which can then be used as the basis for creating new components
