Hi... Just to confirm npm link in my-app/node_modules/react and then npm link react in the ui-library repository on my computer? Then build and run my-app again?

Okay, so as above I did the npm link and it has fixed the error for now. I am going to try publishing to GitLab and see if the lib still works or if I can reproduce this problem somehow. I presume that I will need to keep repeating this step?

This has happened to me several times and I have never tried this option, good to know.

It is a narrow fix. Going to be frustrating remembering to do this each time I npm install though. Going to see what happens when I publish it to my registry and install the package as a dependency, wonder if this step is exclusively for importing locally

Yes, I mentioned in my answer that the error can be caused by the local development. I don't think that you will face this issue when you publish the library. This step, in theory, should be avoided anyway because your ui-library components should be developed in isolation and not dependent on your main project. You can use a tool like Storybook to help you with this and it's also a great way to document the use cases of your ui-lib components.
