Hi @opaque condor. 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 localStorage is not available during server-side rendering. This is because localStorage is a browser-specific feature and Next.js pre-renders pages on the server where there is no browser or window object.
To fix this issue, you need to ensure that your code does not reference localStorage (or any other browser-specific APIs) during server-side rendering. You can do this by checking if typeof window !== 'undefined' before accessing localStorage.
Here's an example of how you can do this:
let savedData;
if (typeof window !== 'undefined') {
savedData = window.localStorage.getItem('yourKey');
}
This code checks if window is defined before trying to access localStorage. This way, the code will not throw an error during server-side rendering.
For more information, you can refer to this Github issue (https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/57686) where a similar problem was discussed.
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
Yes, you can disable Server-Side Rendering (SSR) for specific components in your Next.js application. However, disabling SSR for the entire project is not a recommended practice as it negates one of the key benefits of using Next.js, which is its hybrid nature allowing both server-side and client-side rendering.
To disable SSR for a specific component, you can use the dynamic import from next/dynamic with the ssr option set to false. Here's an example:
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'
const DynamicComponent = dynamic(() => import('../components/YourComponent'), {
ssr: false,
})
In this example, YourComponent will only be rendered on the client side.
For more information, refer to the Next.js documentation on dynamic imports (https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/optimizing/lazy-loading#with-no-ssr).
If you're using other frameworks like Nuxt or Astro on Vercel, they provide options to disable SSR for specific routes or components as well. You can refer to the Vercel documentation for Nuxt (https://vercel.com/docs/frameworks/nuxt#client-side-rendering) and Astro (https://vercel.com/docs/frameworks/astro#server-side-rendering) for more details.
Remember, disabling SSR might impact SEO and initial page loading performance as the browser will have to download and execute JavaScript before it can start rendering the page.

@feral blade how do i do this in app router

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
The App Router in Next.js doesn't provide a direct way to disable Server-Side Rendering (SSR) for the entire application. The App Router is designed to take advantage of both server-side and client-side rendering to provide optimal performance and SEO benefits.
However, you can use Next.js dynamic imports to load specific components only on the client-side, effectively disabling SSR for those components. Here's an example:
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'
const DynamicComponent = dynamic(() => import('../components/YourComponent'), {
ssr: false,
})
In this example, YourComponent will only be rendered on the client side.
