Hi @deep drum. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

The error you're encountering is due to the fact that certain objects, such as those with null prototypes or complex properties, cannot be passed directly from Server Components to Client Components in Next.js. This is a known issue and has been discussed in various contexts.

From the knowledge sources, we can see that this problem is often related to the serialization of complex objects when passing them from server-side to client-side components. Specifically, the issue arises because Next.js expects only plain objects or a few built-ins to be passed between these components.

Here is a relevant comment from the knowledge sources that addresses a similar issue:

This problem is generated by the fact that you are passing a complex property from a server-side component to a client-side component, most likely at some level of the object there are classes or functions that are not easily serialized, so you need to make the conversion manually before passing this property. Source (https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/47447)

To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that the data being passed from the server to the client is serializable. One way to do this is to convert any complex objects into plain objects before passing them to client components.

Here is an example of how you might adjust your RootLayout component to ensure that the currentUser object is serializable:

import './globals.css';
import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/react-query';
import getCurrentUser from './actions/getCurrentUser';
import { UserProvider } from './contexts/UserContext';
import Script from 'next/script';
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic';

const queryClient = new QueryClient();

export default async function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode;
}) {
  const currentUser = await getCurrentUser();

// Ensure currentUser is a plain object
const serializableUser = currentUser ? { ...currentUser } : null;

return (
<html lang="en">
<Script
async
src={<https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS}}>
strategy="afterInteractive"
/>
<Script id="google-analytics" strategy="afterInteractive">
{`
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());

        gtag('config', '${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS}');
      `}
  </Script>
  <body className={`${font.className} flex flex-col min-h-screen`}>
    <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
      <ToasterProvider />
      <ModalProvider>
        <UserProvider username={serializableUser?.username || ''}>
          <CreateEventModal />
          <ContactFormModal />
          <LoginModal />
          <RegisterModal />
          <Navbar currentUser={serializableUser} />
          <div className="pt-0 sm:pt-8 flex-grow">{children}</div>
        </UserProvider>
      </ModalProvider>
    </QueryClientProvider>
  </body>
</html>

);
}


By ensuring that `currentUser` is a plain object, you can avoid the serialization issues that are causing the runtime error.

For more information on handling such issues, you can refer to the **Next.js documentation on Server Components** (<https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/rendering/server-components#using-server-components-in-nextjs>).

@devout zodiac But we didn't have that issue until installing tanstack query and wrapping our RootLayout. I have doubt that it's because of currentUser?

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

Given that the issue started after installing TanStack Query and wrapping your RootLayout with QueryClientProvider, it's likely that the problem is related to how the QueryClientProvider interacts with the server-side rendering in Next.js.

From the knowledge sources, we know that there have been issues with TanStack Query in Next.js, particularly when used in layout components. For example, in this issue (https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/55478), a user reported that the query client provider was unstable, which could be related to your problem.

To address this, you can try the following steps:

Ensure that the QueryClient is created in a client-side context: Make sure that the QueryClient is not being created on the server side. You can do this by moving the creation of the QueryClient inside a client-side component or hook.
Check for serialization issues: Ensure that all data being passed to the QueryClientProvider is serializable. This includes the currentUser object and any other data being used in your layout.

Here is an updated version of your RootLayout component that ensures the QueryClient is created in a client-side context:

import './globals.css';
import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/react-query';
import getCurrentUser from './actions/getCurrentUser';
import { UserProvider } from './contexts/UserContext';
import Script from 'next/script';
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic';
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';

export default async function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode;
}) {
  const currentUser = await getCurrentUser();

  // Ensure currentUser is a plain object
  const serializableUser = currentUser ? { ...currentUser } : null;

        gtag('config', '${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS}');
      `}
  </Script>
  <body className={`${font.className} flex flex-col min-h-screen`}>
    <ClientSideQueryClientProvider>
      <ToasterProvider />
      <ModalProvider>
        <UserProvider username={serializableUser?.username || ''}>
          <CreateEventModal />
          <ContactFormModal />
          <LoginModal />
          <RegisterModal />
          <Navbar currentUser={serializableUser} />
          <div className="pt-0 sm:pt-8 flex-grow">{children}</div>
        </UserProvider>
      </ModalProvider>
    </ClientSideQueryClientProvider>
  </body>
</html>

);
}

function ClientSideQueryClientProvider({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
const [queryClient] = useState(() => new QueryClient());

return <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>{children}</QueryClientProvider>;
}


In this version, the `QueryClient` is created inside a `ClientSideQueryClientProvider` component, which ensures that it is only created on the client side. This should help avoid the serialization issues that are causing the runtime error.
