I doubt that React is going to make a change that breaks this library. Please consider an open-ended react dependency which matches devDependencies.react, or, preferably, even less restrictive than that.

I removed devDependencies and tried to build the package but 'npm i' gave tons of errors. Any suggestion.

I had the same issue
npm install react-input-range --force solved the errors, not sure if it is the best way to do it... but at least its working now

[satya1505]

npm install react-input-range --force

thanks

After updating to react 17 I get this error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'ownerDocument')
    at InputRange.removeDocumentMouseUpListener (input-range.js:494)
    at InputRange.componentWillUnmount (input-range.js:216)

react 17 made some changes to its event system, not sure if relates to it. But strange.
