Topic: Next.js v14 SSR fails w/ MDB5 9.0.0

bnewton free asked 3 weeks ago

Expected behavior Setting up a basic Next.js v14 application as per https://nextjs.org/docs/getting-started/installation and then using a basic MDB component such as MDBContainer in the root page.tsx file (using app router) would be able to bundle using Webpack and render the page.tsx page using SSR successfully when performing:

npm run dev

Actual behavior When performing the steps above, instead webpack throws a compile error. It looks from the error that framer-motion may be incorrectly bundled when it's not actually required (in the case of the MDBContainer component) which prevents SSR from working correctly, as framer-motion requires client-side browser APIs.

Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.) Webpack error:

Thanks, Mateusz Lazaru.

However, I don't think this is an adequate answer given that simple components like the MDBContainer have no direct dependencies on client-side APIs they should be able to be rendered on the server side using feature's like Next.js' Server-Side Rendering (SSR).

Based on the webpack error, it appears that 'framer-motion' is possibly being imported globally whenever a module from 'mdb-react-ui-kit' is imported, which in turn is calling createContext which is dependent on client-side APIs.

Are there plans to fix this issue so that MDB react components that don't depend on client-side APIs can be rendered on the server?

Thanks.

Regards, Ben

Mateusz Lazaru staff commented 2 weeks ago

Yes, we are going to fix this, you are right about the error. At the moment, you don't need to add the “use client” flag if you have imported a server component from a source file. The source files can be found here: https://github.com/mdbootstrap/mdb-react-ui-kit/tree/master/app/src/free

Mateusz Lazaru staff answered 2 weeks ago

To resolve the createContext) is not a function problem you'll beed to add the use client directive in the component, where you're using MDBContainer/
