Topic: Next.js Window is not defined

futuric.io priority asked 2 years ago


Hey there,
I'm using the MDB5 react ui kit in version 4.1.0 for my next.js/react.js project. The Problem is I can't even use a single container without the error message (window is not defined). I can load a component in next.js with dynamic and server side rendering as false... then I can use mdb components. But then I can never use useState/useEffect in a component only on the page and also a sourrounding layout arround components is not possible.

My app.js file:

import 'mdb-react-ui-kit/dist/css/mdb.min.css';
import '../styles/globals.css';
import { MDBContainer } from 'mdb-react-ui-kit';

function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {

    return (
        <MDBContainer>
            <Component {...pageProps} />    
        </MDBContainer>
    )


}


export default MyApp

The Error Message: enter image description here

Hi!

We don't guarantee the proper working of our package with Next.js at this moment. The integration is planned for the near future.

Anyway - there's a workaround for that and I think the solution from this topic should be helpful. https://mdbootstrap.com/support/react/install-with-latest-next-js-referenceerror-window-is-not-defined/

Do you already know when the package for next.js is getting released? This year?

Hi!

I'm afraid there's no ETA for that but for sure this will be released in one or two months.
