ReferenceError: ResizeObserver is not defined with nivo and NextJS - reactjs

Question

I want to use nivo with Next but when I load the page containing a pie chart made with nivo, I get this error: ReferenceError: ResizeObserver is not defined.
My Pie.js component:
import { ResponsivePie } from "#nivo/pie";
export const data = [
{
id: "c",
label: "c",
value: 80,
color: "hsl(8, 70%, 50%)",
},
{
id: "lisp",
label: "lisp",
value: 188,
color: "hsl(122, 70%, 50%)",
},
{
id: "go",
label: "go",
value: 161,
color: "hsl(111, 70%, 50%)",
},
];
export default function MyPie({ data }) {
return (
<ResponsivePie
data={data}
margin={{ top: 40, right: 80, bottom: 80, left: 80 }}
innerRadius={0.5}
padAngle={0.7}
cornerRadius={3}
activeOuterRadiusOffset={8}
borderWidth={1}
borderColor={{ from: "color", modifiers: [["darker", 0.2]] }}
arcLinkLabelsSkipAngle={10}
arcLinkLabelsTextColor="#333333"
arcLinkLabelsThickness={2}
arcLinkLabelsColor={{ from: "color" }}
arcLabelsSkipAngle={10}
arcLabelsTextColor={{ from: "color", modifiers: [["darker", 2]] }}
defs={[
{
id: "dots",
type: "patternDots",
background: "inherit",
color: "rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3)",
size: 4,
padding: 1,
stagger: true,
},
{
id: "lines",
type: "patternLines",
background: "inherit",
color: "rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3)",
rotation: -45,
lineWidth: 6,
spacing: 10,
},
]}
/>
)
};
My chart.js page:
import MyPie, { data } from "../components/Pie";
import homeStyles from "../styles/Home.module.css";
function Chart() {
return (
<div className={homeStyles.divchart}>
<MyPie data={data}/>
</div>
);
};
export default Chart;
This error only appears when using ResponsivePie and not Pie. I also tried to make it work with a React project but though I don't get this error, Nothing seems to be displayed.
Edit:
After some investigations, it looks like there is something wrong with #nivo/core 0.79.0 dependency. We should open an issue on the GitHub repo. I made some changes to check whether it is caused by my version of Next.js but the bug occurs only with #nivo/core 0.79.0.

Answer 1

It turns out this was the result of a bug introduced in version 0.79.0, which was fixed in https://github.com/plouc/nivo/pull/1886.
You should update #nivo/core to 0.79.1.
It looks like #nivo/pie is not compatible with Next.js server-side rendering as it utilizes Web APIs (ResizeObserver).
To avoid importing MyPie (and subsequently ResponsivePie) on the server, you can dynamically import it on the client-side only using next/dynamic with ssr: false.
import dynamic from "next/dynamic";
import { data } from "../components/Pie";
import homeStyles from "../styles/Home.module.css";
const MyPie = dynamic(() => import("../components/Pie"), {
ssr: false
})
function Chart() {
return (
<div className={homeStyles.divchart}>
<MyPie data={data}/>
</div>
);
};
export default Chart;

Answer 2

It's likely that code is being run on server side (SSR), and ResizeObserver doesn't exist there. You should try to make sure that your code only executes when on client side.
It's hard for me to tell you how as I don't know what your setup is. You can likely just add a check to only run that part of the code if ResizeObserver is defined.
I hope at least this points you in the right direction.
