How to detect window size in Next.js SSR using react hook?
You can avoid calling your detection function in ssr by adding this code:
// make sure your function is being called in client side onlyif (typeof window !== 'undefined') { // detect window screen width function}
full example from your link:
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';// Usagefunction App() { const size = useWindowSize(); return ( <div> {size.width}px / {size.height}px </div> );}// Hookfunction useWindowSize() { // Initialize state with undefined width/height so server and client renders match // Learn more here: https://joshwcomeau.com/react/the-perils-of-rehydration/ const [windowSize, setWindowSize] = useState({ width: undefined, height: undefined, }); useEffect(() => { // only execute all the code below in client side if (typeof window !== 'undefined') { // Handler to call on window resize function handleResize() { // Set window width/height to state setWindowSize({ width: window.innerWidth, height: window.innerHeight, }); } // Add event listener window.addEventListener("resize", handleResize); // Call handler right away so state gets updated with initial window size handleResize(); // Remove event listener on cleanup return () => window.removeEventListener("resize", handleResize); } }, []); // Empty array ensures that effect is only run on mount return windowSize;}
While Darryl RN has provided an absolutely correct answer. I'd like to make a small remark: You don't really need to check for the existence of the window
object inside useEffect
because useEffect
only runs client-side and never server-side, and the window
object is always available on the client-side.
useEffect(()=> { window.addEventListener('resize', ()=> { console.log(window.innerHeight, window.innerWidth) })}, [])
