Question

Started a project with create-react-app. Installed react-native: "^0.57.8",react-native-elements: "^0.19.1" and react-native-vector-icons: "^6.1.0". To be able to use components within react-native-elements within a project.

You can't do that (read here if you want to know why). Do you want to build a web app? Use React with create-react-app. Do you want to build a mobile app? Use React Native with Expo or react-native init.

I suggest you look into material-ui as a component library for React.
