I'm working with Next.js, I tried accessing data but got this error:
Error: Error serializing `.profileData` returned from `getStaticProps` in "/profile/[slug]".
Reason: `undefined` cannot be serialized as JSON. Please use `null` or omit this value.
My code:
import { getAllBusinessProfiles } from '../../lib/api';
const Profile = ({ allProfiles: { edges } }) => {
return (
<>
<Head>
<title>Profile</title>
</Head>
<Hero />
<section>
{edges.map(({ node }) => (
<div key={node.id}>
<Link href={`/profile/${node.slug}`}>
<a> {node.businessInfo.name} </a>
</Link>
</div>
))}
</section>
</>
);
}
export default Profile;
export async function getStaticProps() {
const allProfiles = await getAllBusinessProfiles();
return {
props: {
allProfiles
}
};
}
getAllBusinessProfiles from api.js:
const API_URL = process.env.WP_API_URL;
async function fetchAPI(query, { variables } = {}) {
const headers = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' };
const res = await fetch(API_URL, {
method: 'POST',
headers,
body: JSON.stringify({ query, variables })
});
const json = await res.json();
if (json.errors) {
console.log(json.errors);
console.log('error details', query, variables);
throw new Error('Failed to fetch API');
}
return json.data;
}
export async function getAllBusinessProfiles() {
const data = await fetchAPI(
`
query AllProfiles {
businessProfiles(where: {orderby: {field: DATE, order: ASC}}) {
edges {
node {
date
title
slug
link
uri
businessInfo {
name
title
company
image {
mediaItemUrl
altText
}
highlight
phone
city
country
facebook
instagram
email
website
profiles {
profile
profileInfo
}
extendedProfile {
title
info
}
}
}
}
}
}
`
);
return data?.businessProfiles;
};
What could be the error here? I used the getStaticProps method on Next.js but got the error above instead. Please, check. Thanks.
The error:
Server Error
Error: Error serializing .profileData returned from getStaticProps in "/profile/[slug]".
Reason: undefined cannot be serialized as JSON. Please use null or omit this value.
I don't know what could cause this though.

The error: Server Error Error: Error serializing .profileData returned from getStaticProps in "/profile/ [slug]". Reason: undefined cannot be serialized as JSON.
getStaticProps (Static Generation): Fetch data at build time. getStaticPaths (Static Generation): Specify dynamic routes to pre-render pages based on data. getServerSideProps (Server-side Rendering): Fetch data on each request. In addition, we’ll talk briefly about how to fetch data on the client side.
When a page with getStaticProps is pre-rendered at build time, in addition to the page HTML file, Next.js generates a JSON file holding the result of running getStaticProps. This JSON file will be used in client-side routing through next/link or next/router.
getStaticProps runs in the background when using revalidate getStaticProps runs on-demand in the background when using unstable_revalidate When combined with Incremental Static Regeneration, getStaticProps will run in the background while the stale page is being revalidated, and the fresh page served to the browser.
Add JSON.stringify when calling an asynchronous function that returns an object.
Try modifying your getStaticProps function like this.
export async function getStaticProps() {
const profiles = await getAllBusinessProfiles();
const allProfiles = JSON.stringify(profiles)
return {
props: {
allProfiles
}
};
}
The
JSON.stringify()method converts a JavaScript object or value to a JSON string, optionally replacing values if a replacer function is specified or optionally including only the specified properties if a replacer array is specified.

I had the same issue when I was working with redux with next js and the reason was one of the fields in the default state I set it to undefined. Instead I used null:
const INITIAL_STATE = {
products: [],
loading: false,
error: undefined,
cart: [],
};
error:undefined was causing the error. Because "undefined" cannot be serialized:
export async function getStaticProps() {
const allProfiles = await getAllBusinessProfiles();
return {
props: {
allProfiles
}
};
}
you are returning "allProfiles" which is the result of async getAllBusinessProfiles() which is either returning undefined, error or one of the fields of the returned object is undefined. "error" object is not serializable in javascript
