Managing 'window' object in Isomorphic App with ReactJS and Flask Python

flask reactjs webpack serverside-javascript isomorphic-javascript

There is no window global when rendering on the server. You can create a fake window, first checking if the window exists:

if (typeof(window) == 'undefined'){    global.window = new Object();}

Alternatively, you can use jsdom, or a similar library to create a fake DOM.

flask reactjs webpack serverside-javascript isomorphic-javascript

Just add the following to webpack config:

  // By default, Webpack is set up to target the browser,  // not a Node environment. Try setting target in your config:  target: 'node',
