What steps did you do exactly? What is the exact error?

No such namespace: cljs-http.client, could not locate cljs_http/client.cljs, cljs_http/client.cljc, or JavaScript source providing "cljs-http.client" (Please check that namespaces with dashes use underscores in the ClojureScript file name)

That’s a partial answer to the second question of mine

it happened once I used it in my api namespace

...(:require [cljs-http.client :as http]...

1. added it to dependencies in project.clj

2. required it 3. reloaded config from a cider repl 4. got error

cljs-http does work with react-native as can be seen from the unrelated discussion above. Maybe stop your REPL at the step 3. & start it again, so that it can pick up the dependency?

@U3SG7RX7A damn, it worked! thank you so much, it’s my first time dabbling with re-natal and also trying out cider repl for a change.

I thought I only needed to run reload-config, but I apparently needed to restart the whole repl
