React-native: EventEmitter in react-native 0.61 is not working as 0.60

[kamelj]

When I using EventEmitter in react-native 0.61 I got this error:

Unable to resolve module EventEmitter from Main.js: EventEmitter could not be found within the project.

This is Main.js look like:

import _EventEmitter from 'EventEmitter';
export const EventEmitter = new _EventEmitter();

export const toast = (msg, duration = 4000) => { 
EventEmitter.emit(Constants.EmitCode.Toast, msg, duration) ;
};

The magic you describe has been removed: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/24316

To fix the import issue:

import EventEmitter from "react-native/Libraries/vendor/emitter/EventEmitter";

Searching EventEmitter.js in node_modules tells you the path. Same method can be applied on other imports having this type of error.
Example:

import type EmitterSubscription from "EmitterSubscription";

to

import type EmitterSubscription from "react-native/Libraries/vendor/emitter/EmitterSubscription";
