Topic: MDReact and Gatsby - Not working

gradlon pro asked 6 years ago

Hey, I am Building my first site using MDReact and Gatsby, at first it looked promising but soon I ran into two issues which are deal-breaking.
  1. Gatsby does not work with React-Router thus I am having difficulties creating a proper navigation with all the wanted features.
  2. When building the production site it fails with an error. WebpackError: ReferenceError: window is not defined
I have looked through the forums but did not find much about it other than stating that it is known and a fix is on the way, but those posts are 6 months old and since then nothing happened. Are there some known Workarounds? Is there an ETA for a fix? Kind regards Gradlon von Känel

Has there been any progress on MDB5 and Gatsby working together yet? Would like to use MDB but only if it can work with Gatsby Cheers Mark

Hi!

I'm afraid there's no update on this topic. But I think this answer should be helpful: https://mdbootstrap.com/support/react/install-with-latest-next-js-referenceerror-window-is-not-defined/

Sadly, MDB5 React doesn't work either:

failed Building static HTML for pages - 6.710s

 ERROR #95312 

"document" is not available during server side rendering.
See our docs page for more info on this error:
https://gatsby.dev/debug-html





  WebpackError: ReferenceError: document is not defined  

  - mdb-react-ui-kit.esm.js:1

Is there any plan for supporting SSR frameworks in the near future?

Wojciech Staniszewski staff commented 2 years ago

It is definitely in our plans, but I cannot guarantee a date at this time

Wojciech Staniszewski staff answered 2 years ago

We do not support any frameworks yet. But you could try installing MDB5 React and check if it works

diznutz priority answered 2 years ago

Hello, is there any news related with solving MDB React integration with Gatsby? (or SSR frameworks in general). This is a critical stopper for our projects.

Hi gradlon , unfortunately, our library doesn't support server-side rendering for now. It works only as client-side js. Best, Ania

mdbootstrap is throwing an error on gatsby build. Works fine in dev mode but the minute you attempt to build for production it throws a webpack ssr error because it references the window ( "navigator" is not available during server side rendering. ). I was under the impression that mdbootstrap had resolved this issue when you decided to create a Gatsby Starter with the free version of your React Library. That is why I went ahead a purchased the Pro Version + Bundle.

Please tell me there is a work around.

we have a problem with SSR, we will try to resolve this as soon as possible. One component is breaking a whole server-side rendering and we are looking for a workaround this but there is a little problem with export-dynamic modules in the React because React doesn't support this yet. This will feature will be a core in the React ecosystem in the next version but we will fix it.
