React JS Server side issue - window not found

Question

Hi I\'m trying to use react-rte in my reactJS project. I have server side rendering and every time I want to use this package I get:

return /msie [6-9]\\b/.         


        

Answer 1

I've been using ReactJS.NET targeting build to client and server, and got the same problem.

The solution is to set output.globalObject to 'this'.

module.exports = {
  // ...
  output: {
    // ...
    globalObject: 'this'
  }
};

Without that option set, it's falling back to window which is working on client-only code.
