Dynamic Imports - NextJS












1















I have a simple function which loads a script:



const creditCardScript = (
onReadyCB,
onErrorCB,
) => {
let script = document.createElement("script");
script.type = "text/javascript";
script.src = process.CREDIT_CARD_SCRIPT;
document.head.appendChild(script);

script.onload = function() {
...
};
};

export default creditCardScript;


Before I migrated to NextJS, I was importing the script with: import creditCardScript from "./creditCardScript".



Sine NextJS renders components server side in Node, care needs to be taken to ensure that any code with a reference to window (which is browser specific), doesn't get called until componentDidMount.



NextJS solves this issue by providing dynamic imports (a wrapper around react-loadable) which:




  • only load the component when needed,

  • provides an option to only load the component on client side
    (ssr: false).


I went ahead and implemented dynamic imports:



const creditCardScript = dynamic(import("./creditCardScript"), { ssr: false });


In componentDidMount:



componentDidMount = () => {
creditCardScript(
this.onReadyCB,
this.onErrorCB
);
};


But I'm getting this:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call a class as a function



I've tried to convert the function to a class and use the constructor to pass in args, but my code now fails silently.

            I am confused, why not just use a regular function?

            And then call it during a client side only lifecycle hook. Dont use the dynamic function -- that is only for react components.
