Next js application cannot run react module

Question

I am trying to make a react full page scroller into my next js app from this link

https://github.com/ibrahim-ih/react-full-page-scroller

I have created an app using npx next-create-app and installed the module using

npm install --save react-full-page-scroller

and added the following code in the index.js page

import React from 'react'

import MyComponent from 'react-full-page-scroller'
import 'react-full-page-scroller/dist/index.css'

const App = () => {
  const nav = [
    {
      id: 1,
      title: 'title 1',
      className: 'page-nav-button',
      style: { width: '100%' }
    },
    {
      id: 2,
      title: 'title 2',
      className: 'page-nav-button',
      style: { width: '100%' }
    },
    {
      id: 3,
      title: 'title 3',
      className: 'page-nav-button',
      style: { width: '100%' }
    }
  ]
  const indicatorStyle = {
    height: '8px',
    width: '8px',
    margin: '10px',
    borderRadius: '4px',
    backgroundColor: 'white',
    transition: 'width 500ms ease'
  }
  const indicatorStyleActive = { width: '20px' }

  return (
    <MyComponent
      pageNav={nav}
      indicatorStyle={indicatorStyle}
      indicatorStyleActive={indicatorStyleActive}
    >
      <div
        className='bg-blue'
        style={{
          display: 'flex',
          alignItems: 'center',
          justifyContent: 'center'
        }}
      >
        <h1 className='page-number'>1</h1>
      </div>
      <div
        className='bg-green'
        style={{
          display: 'flex',
          alignItems: 'center',
          justifyContent: 'center'
        }}
      >
        <h1 className='page-number'>2</h1>
      </div>
      <div
        className='bg-red'
        style={{
          display: 'flex',
          alignItems: 'center',
          justifyContent: 'center'
        }}
      >
        <h1 className='page-number'>3</h1>
      </div>
    </MyComponent>
  )
}

export default App

This shows the following error

Note I tried the simplest form, which is wrapping 3 divs in between It works for the first time as I save it, but as I reload the page the mentioned error shows again.

It looks like react-full-page-scroller is not compatible with SSR, so you'll have to dynamically import it on the client only.

Replace your import MyComponent from 'react-full-page-scroller' with the following lines:

import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'

const MyComponent = dynamic(() => import('react-full-page-scroller'), {
  ssr: false
})
