NPM package can't resolve peer-dependencies

[r-watkins]

Problem

I'm trying to update calcite-react from version 0.58.0 to version 0.59.0. There is a peer-dependency conflict with react. I'm on react version 17.0.2 and the peer-dependency wants me to be at 16.8.2.

Possible Solution

I had a similar issue with one of my npm packages. It was trying to force users to react 16.5.0. I was able to fix it by adjusting the peer-dependency to ">= 16.5.0". A possible fix is to set "react": ">= 16.8.6" in your peer-dependencies.
