no window object present #97

Closed ywen closed 9 years ago

ywen commented 9 years ago

Hi,

I use node-fetch in a reacts + rails project. I use https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails to glue between reactjs and Rails. Everything works fine except when I do server side rendering it complains the error "Encountered error "Error: no window object present" when prerendering".

I am willing to work a PR, just need some directions. Thanks!

The line that raise the error:

By removing a unnecessary node-fetch import the problem is fixed. Thanks for your help!

because server can not find window, you can use this

getInitialState() { return {windowWidth: (typeof window !== 'undefined')? window.innerWidth:undefined}; },
