Why window instance is required on the server.

related issue #1222

Window instance is required for this editor, this is not a big problem. But, why window instance is also required in the Viewer component. I am using NextJs with ReactJs, i need to render markdown content on the server. Because of this problem, i am not able to render markdown content on the server.

Although i can use dynamic provided by nextJs to render content on the client-side. But, we are not using a server-side rendering feature.

Possible solution

1 fix the existing code

2 Create another Viewer component named like ServerViewer which doesn'trequire window instance.

@ats1999 I have a question. You said that accessing the window object is a problem when using Viewer. Can you tell me where to access the window object? It also tells you whether the problem is when you render or when you build.

Can you tell me where to access the window object?

I know the server does not have any window object. So, we can't use the window on the server.

My question is Why window instance is required in the viewer component? I can guess, this editor might be using any function to convert markdown text into HTML content.

If I can get access to that function anyhow then also I can render content on the server.

Until a window object is required, I can not use the server-side rendering feature.
