SSR

Love the new updates, but it broke SSR in NextJS

Here is the error

window is not defined

Here is a workaround i use.

Instead of:

import { GoogleLogin } from 'react-google-login';

use:

// NOTE: workaround we have to use b/c of some SSR problems
const { GoogleLogin } = typeof window === 'object' ? require('react-google-login') : {};

Hello! I am using this component with Next js and I found this problem and this solution helped me to solve it, but it always returns other errors like this one:

Warning: React.createElement: type is invalid - expected to string (for built-in components) or a class / function (for composite components) but got: undefined. You likely forgot to export your component from the file it’s defined in, or you might have mixed up default and named imports.

Hi, I have solved this by altering code like this:

import React, {Component} from 'react;
let GoogleLib;
export default class App extends Component {
    constructor () {
        super();
        this.state = { showGoogleBtn: false };
    }
    componentDidMount() {
        GoogleLib = require('react-google-login');
        this.setState({ showGoogleBtn: true });

    }

    render() {
        return (
                    {this.state.showGoogleBtn ?
                        <GoogleLib.GoogleLogin
                            clientId="CLIENT_ID"
                            buttonText="Login"
                            onSuccess={googleLoginSucess}
                            onFailure={googleLoginFail}
                        /> : null
                    }
        );
    }
}

This way only clientside will render the google button.
