LeafLet implementation on Next JS 13

I trying to implement a LeafLet map component in my Next JS 13.0.1 project, but I'm having a problem with the render of the map component.

In the first load of the map component, this error appears:

ReferenceError: window is not defined
    at eval (webpack-internal:///(sc_client)/./node_modules/leaflet/dist/leaflet-src.js:229:19)

anyways, the map loads, but things like markes do not appear

the real problem is when the page is reloaded, being a hard reload or a Link reference. this error appears:

}

After this error, the page do not load

I tried to use the dynamic() and import() function from Next but without successm, i think the only way to load the component is using the 'use client' directive in both the map component and page component

Solution

  • I have the exact same issue and I was able to get it working doing something like this:

    // this is your current Map file
export default function ClientMap() {
  const [geoData, setGeoData] = useState({ lat: 64.536634, lng: 16.779852 });

  return (
    <MapContainer center={[geoData.lat, geoData.lng]} zoom={12} style={{ height: '90vh' }}>
      <TileLayer
         attribution='&copy; <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors'
         url="https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"
       />
      {geoData.lat && geoData.lng && (
        <Marker position={[geoData.lat, geoData.lng]} />
      )}
    </MapContainer>
  );
}

    // this is a "barrel file" that prevents the ClientMap from ever getting loaded in the server.
export const Map: FunctionComponent = () => {
    const [Client, setClient] = useState<FunctionComponent>();

    useEffect(() => {
        (async () => {
            if (typeof global.window !== "undefined") {
                const newClient = (await import('./MapClient')).default
                setClient(() => newClient);
            }
        })();
    }, [])

    if (typeof global.window === "undefined" || !Client) {
        return null;
    }
    
    return Client ? <Client {...props} /> : null;
}

    The goal is to guarantee that leaflet and related code never ever gets executed on the server. I opened a thread on Next 13 app dir discussion to see if there is a more standard way to write this code here
