Server-side rendering #

Custom elements should be defined on client-side only. There are a couple of things you can do to ensure this.

You can implement a condition which checks for the environment such as the following one:

import { LdButton } from '@emdgroup-liquid/liquid/dist/components/ld-button'

if (typeof window !== 'undefined') {
  customElements.define('ld-button', LdButton)
}

You can also import the components you use on client side only, if you want to leverage code splitting and lazy loading:

if (typeof window !== 'undefined') {
  const { setAssetPath } = await import('@emdgroup-liquid/liquid/dist/components')
  const modules = await Promise.all([
    import('@emdgroup-liquid/liquid/dist/components/ld-button'),
    import('@emdgroup-liquid/liquid/dist/components/ld-checkbox'),
  ])
  window.__LD_ASSET_PATH__ = window.location.origin
  modules.forEach((module) => {
    module.defineCustomElement()
  })
}

If you have lifecycle hooks to your disposal for running code on the client side only, you should use these. For instance, in React based applications you can use the effect hook for this purpose:

useEffect(()=>{
  window.__LD_ASSET_PATH__ = window.location.origin
}, [])
