React MDBoostrap break SSR : window is not defined

ylacaute commented 5 years ago

Expected behavior

We should be able to build and run a server side rendered application.

Actual behavior

When running SSR application, we got this error :

ReferenceError: window is not defined
    at Object.../node_modules/mdbreact/dist/mdbreact.js

I was able to get the application running with webpack-dev-server OR with SSR. After I added mdboostrap, I was only able to get the application running with webpack-dev-server, the SSR is broken because that window.

I also have a probem when adding the optimization chunk in webpack ONLY on SSR after adding mdbreact :

/******/        modules[moduleId].call(module.exports, module, module.exports, __webpack_require__);
                                  ^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'call' of undefined

If I remove optimization chunk at least I am able to build SSR. But I think this is a not a probem from mdbreact.

Any help is welcome

I think this is due the "outy" dependency (https://github.com/souporserious/outy/blob/master/index.js)

UPDATE : no, after some tests it's not Outy, maybe another library.
