Using document.cookie in Gatsby - reactjs

I need to be able to set and access cookies in my Gatsby project, and I was able to get something solid setup using this tutorial. I'm building a hook that sets a cookie, and utilizing it throughout the site. This is what the helper looks like when it's all said and done.
use-cookie.ts
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
const getItem = (key) =>
document.cookie.split('; ').reduce((total, currentCookie) => {
const item = currentCookie.split('=');
const storedKey = item[0];
const storedValue = item[1];
return key === storedKey ? decodeURIComponent(storedValue) : total;
}, '');
const setItem = (key, value, numberOfDays) => {
const now = new Date();
// set the time to be now + numberOfDays
now.setTime(now.getTime() + numberOfDays * 60 * 60 * 24 * 1000);
document.cookie = `${key}=${value}; expires=${now.toUTCString()}; path=/`;
};
/**
*
* #param {String} key The key to store our data to
* #param {String} defaultValue The default value to return in case the cookie doesn't exist
*/
export const useCookie = (key, defaultValue) => {
const getCookie = () => getItem(key) || defaultValue;
const [cookie, setCookie] = useState(getCookie());
const updateCookie = (value, numberOfDays) => {
setCookie(value);
setItem(key, value, numberOfDays);
};
return [cookie, updateCookie];
};
I'm calling the hook into a component like so:
DealerList.tsx
import React, { ReactNode, useEffect } from 'react';
import { Container } from 'containers/container/Container';
import { Section } from 'containers/section/Section';
import { Link } from 'components/link/Link';
import s from './DealerList.scss';
import { useCookie } from 'hooks/use-cookie';
interface DealerListProps {
fetchedData: ReactNode;
}
let cookie;
useEffect(() => {
cookie = useCookie();
}, []);
export const DealerList = ({ fetchedData }: DealerListProps) => {
const dealerInfo = fetchedData;
if (!dealerInfo) return null;
const [cookie, updateCookie] = useCookie('one-day-location', 'sacramento-ca');
return (
<>
<Section>
<Container>
<div className={s.list}>
{dealerInfo.map((dealer: any) => (
<div className={s.dealer} key={dealer.id}>
<div className={s.dealer__info}>
<h3 className={s.name}>
{dealer.company.name}
</h3>
<span className={s.address}>{dealer.address.street}</span>
<span className={s.city}>{dealer.address.city} {dealer.address.zip}</span>
</div>
<div className={s.dealer__contact}>
<span className={s.email}>{dealer.email}</span>
<span className={s.phone}>{dealer.phone}</span>
</div>
<div className={s.dealer__select}>
<Link
to="/"
className={s.button}
onClick={() => {
updateCookie(dealer.phone, 10);
}}
>
Select Location
</Link>
</div>
</div>
))}
</div>
</Container>
</Section>
</>
);
};
It works well on gatsby develop and I'm able to access the value of the cookie and change the contact information that's displayed accordingly. However, when I try and build, or push to Netlify, I'm getting this error.
WebpackError: ReferenceError: document is not defined
I know this has something to do with document.cookie on lines 4 and 17, but I'm struggling trying to figure out how to fix it. Any suggestions? I'm imported useEffect, and from my research that has something to do with it, but what can I do to get it working properly?
Thanks in advance.

I did a bit more research, and I found this simple hook, replaced the code in use-cookie.ts with this, made a few modifications to it (included below), installed universal-cookie and it seems to work perfectly. Here's the new code:
use-cookie.ts
import { useState } from 'react';
import Cookies from 'universal-cookie';
export const useCookie = (key: string, value: string, options: any) => {
const cookies = new Cookies();
const [cookie, setCookie] = useState(() => {
if (cookies.get(key)) {
return cookies.get(key);
}
cookies.set(key, value, options);
});
const updateCookie = (value: string, options: any) => {
setCookie(value);
removeItem(value);
cookies.set(key, value, options);
};
const removeItem = (key: any) => {
cookies.remove(key);
};
return [cookie, updateCookie, removeItem];
};
If anyone has a better way to do this though, please let me know!

According to Gatsby's Debugging HTML Builds documentation:
Some of your code references “browser globals” like window or
document. If this is your problem you should see an error above like
“window is not defined”. To fix this, find the offending code and
either a) check before calling the code if window is defined so the
code doesn’t run while Gatsby is building (see code sample below) or
b) if the code is in the render function of a React.js component, move
that code into a componentDidMount lifecycle or into a useEffect hook,
which ensures the code doesn’t run unless it’s in the browser.
So, without breaking the rule of hooks, calling a hook inside another hook, causing a nested infinite loop. You need to ensure the document creation before calling it. Simply by adding a checking condition:
import { useState } from 'react';
const getItem = (key) => {
if (typeof document !== undefined) {
document.cookie.split(`; `).reduce((total, currentCookie) => {
const item = currentCookie.split(`=`);
const storedKey = item[0];
const storedValue = item[1];
return key === storedKey ? decodeURIComponent(storedValue) : total;
}, ``);
}
};
const setItem = (key, value, numberOfDays) => {
const now = new Date();
// set the time to be now + numberOfDays
now.setTime(now.getTime() + numberOfDays * 60 * 60 * 24 * 1000);
if (typeof document !== undefined) {
document.cookie = `${key}=${value}; expires=${now.toUTCString()}; path=/`;
}
};
/**
*
* #param {String} key The key to store our data to
* #param {String} defaultValue The default value to return in case the cookie doesn't exist
*/
export const useCookie = (key, defaultValue) => {
const getCookie = () => getItem(key) || defaultValue;
const [cookie, setCookie] = useState(getCookie());
const updateCookie = (value, numberOfDays) => {
setCookie(value);
setItem(key, value, numberOfDays);
};
return [cookie, updateCookie];
};
Since you might be calling useCookie custom hook in a component or page where the document doesn't exist yet, I would double-check by using the same condition or using a useEffect with empty dependencies ([], now it won't break the rule of hooks):
const Index = props => {
let cookie;
// both works
if (typeof document !== undefined) {
cookie = useCookie();
}
useEffect(() => {
cookie = useCookie();
}, []);
return <Layout>
<Seo title="Home" />
<h1>Hi people</h1>
</Layout>;
};

Get value from promise using React/Typescript [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Using async/await inside a React functional component
(4 answers)
Closed 7 months ago.
I was given a snippet of a class named GithubService. It has a method getProfile, returning a promise result, that apparently contains an object that I need to reach in my page component Github.
GithubService.ts
class GithubService {
getProfile(login: string): Promise<GithubProfile> {
return fetch(`https://api.github.com/users/${login}`)
.then(res => res.json())
.then(({ avatar_url, name, login }) => ({
avatar: avatar_url as string,
name: name as string,
login: login as string,
}));
}
export type GithubProfile = {
avatar: string;
name: string;
login: string;
};
export const githubSerive = new GithubService();
The page component should look something like this:
import { githubSerive } from '~/app/github/github.service';
export const Github = () => {
let name = 'Joshua';
const profile = Promise.resolve(githubSerive.getProfile(name));
return (
<div className={styles.github}>
<p>
{//something like {profile.name}}
</p>
</div>
);
};
I'm pretty sure the Promise.resolve() method is out of place, but I really can't understand how do I put a GithubProfile object from promise into the profile variable.
I've seen in many tutorials they explicitly declare promise methods and set the return for all outcomes of a promise, but I can't change the source code.
as you are using React, consider making use of the useState and useEffect hooks.
Your Code could then look like below, here's a working sandBox as well, I 'mocked' the GitHub service to return a profile after 1s.
export default function Github() {
const [profile, setProfile] = useState();
useEffect(() => {
let name = "Joshua";
const init = async () => {
const _profile = await githubService.getProfile(name);
setProfile(_profile);
};
init();
}, []);
return (
<>
{profile ? (
<div>
<p>{`Avatar: ${profile.avatar}`}</p>
<p>{`name: ${profile.name}`}</p>
<p>{`login: ${profile.login}`}</p>
</div>
) : (
<p>loading...</p>
)}
</>
);
}
You should wait for the promise to be resolved by either using async/await or .then after the Promise.resolve.
const profile = await githubSerive.getProfile(name);
const profile = githubSerive.getProfile(name).then(data => data);
A solution would be:
import { githubSerive } from '~/app/github/github.service';
export async function Github() {
let name = 'Joshua';
const profile = await githubSerive.getProfile(name);
return (
<div className={styles.github}>
<p>
{profile.name}
</p>
</div>
);
}
But if you are using react, things would be a little different (since you have tagged reactjs in the question):
import { githubSerive } from '~/app/github/github.service';
import * as React from "react";
export const Github = () => {
let name = 'Joshua';
const [profile, setProfile] = React.useState();
React.useEffect(() => {
(async () => {
const profileData = await githubSerive.getProfile(name);
setProfile(profileData);
})();
}, [])
return (
<div className={styles.github}>
<p>
{profile?.name}
</p>
</div>
);
}

How can I make syntax less repetitive (DRY)?

The object of this app is to allow input text and URLs to be saved to localStorage. It is working properly, however, there is a lot of repeat code.
For example, localStoredValues and URLStoredVAlues both getItem from localStorage. localStoredValues gets previous input values from localStorage whereas URLStoredVAlues gets previous URLs from localStorage.
updateLocalArray and updateURLArray use spread operator to iterate of previous values and store new values.
I would like to make the code more "DRY" and wanted suggestions.
/*global chrome*/
import {useState} from 'react';
import List from './components/List'
import { SaveBtn, DeleteBtn, DisplayBtn, TabBtn} from "./components/Buttons"
function App() {
const [myLeads, setMyLeads] = useState([]);
const [leadValue, setLeadValue] = useState({
inputVal: "",
});
//these items are used for the state of localStorage
const [display, setDisplay] = useState(false);
const localStoredValues = JSON.parse(
localStorage.getItem("localValue") || "[]"
)
let updateLocalArray = [...localStoredValues, leadValue.inputVal]
//this item is used for the state of localStorage for URLS
const URLStoredVAlues = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("URLValue") || "[]")
const tabBtn = () => {
chrome.tabs.query({ active: true, currentWindow: true }, function (tabs) {
const url = tabs[0].url;
setMyLeads((prev) => [...prev, url]);
// update state of localStorage
let updateURLArray = [...URLStoredVAlues, url];
localStorage.setItem("URLValue", JSON.stringify(updateURLArray));
});
setDisplay(false)
};
//handles change of input value
const handleChange = (event) => {
const { name, value } = event.target;
setLeadValue((prev) => {
return {
...prev,
[name]: value,
};
});
};
const saveBtn = () => {
setMyLeads((prev) => [...prev, leadValue.inputVal]);
setDisplay(false);
// update state of localStorage
localStorage.setItem("localValue", JSON.stringify(updateLocalArray))
};
const displayBtn = () => {
setDisplay(true);
};
const deleteBtn = () => {
window.localStorage.clear();
setMyLeads([]);
};
const listItem = myLeads.map((led) => {
return <List key={led} val={led} />;
});
//interates through localStorage items returns each as undordered list item
const displayLocalItems = localStoredValues.map((item) => {
return <List key={item} val={item} />;
});
const displayTabUrls = URLStoredVAlues.map((url) => {
return <List key={url} val={url} />;
});
return (
<main>
<input
name="inputVal"
value={leadValue.inputVal}
type="text"
onChange={handleChange}
required
/>
<SaveBtn saveBtn={saveBtn} />
<TabBtn tabBtn={tabBtn} />
<DisplayBtn displayBtn={displayBtn} />
<DeleteBtn deleteBtn={deleteBtn} />
<ul>{listItem}</ul>
{/* displays === true show localstorage items in unordered list
else hide localstorage items */}
{display && (
<ul>
{displayLocalItems}
{displayTabUrls}
</ul>
)}
</main>
);
}
export default App
Those keys could be declared as const and reused, instead of passing strings around:
const LOCAL_VALUE = "localValue";
const URL_VALUE = "URLValue";
You could create a utility function that retrieves from local storage, returns the default array if missing, and parses the JSON:
function getLocalValue(key) {
return JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem(key) || "[]")
};
And then would use it instead of repeating the logic when retrieving "localValue" and "URLValue":
const localStoredValues = getLocalValue(LOCAL_VALUE)
//this item is used for the state of localStorage for URLS
const URLStoredVAlues = getLocalValue(URL_VALUE)
Similarly, with the setter logic:
function setLocalValue(key, value) {
localStorage.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(value))
}
and then use it:
// update state of localStorage
let updateURLArray = [...URLStoredVAlues, url];
setLocalValue(URL_VALUE, updateURLArray);
// update state of localStorage
setLocalValue(LOCAL_VALUE, updateLocalArray)

React Redux Type Error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'comment')

I'm new to React building a simple app and I get this error when I'm trying to add a comment to a photo, the code is working and the state is changing correctly when I hit enter
I the error in this line
const photo = photos.find((item) => item.id === Number(photo_id));
the photos are defined and the id is defined but I get the photo is undefined
I really appreciate it if anyone could help
here's the code
import { useNavigate, useParams } from 'react-router-dom';
import { useSelector, connect } from 'react-redux'
import Photo from './Photo';
import { useState } from 'react';
import { addComment } from './actions'
const PhotoDetail = ({ addComment }) => {
const {photo_id} = useParams();
const navigate = useNavigate();
const [text, setText] = useState('');
const photos = useSelector((state) => state.photoList.photos);
const photo = photos.find((item) => item.id === Number(photo_id));
console.log('here photo id', photo_id)
console.log('here photo', photo)
console.log('here photos', photos)
const comments = photo['comment'];
const handelKeyDown = (e) => {
if (e.key === "Enter") {
const commentData = {text, photo_id}
addComment(commentData);
// navigate('/' + photo.id);
}
}
return (
<div className="detail">
<div className="photos photoDetail">
<Photo key={photo.id} photo={photo}/>
</div>
<div>
<h2>Comments</h2>
<div>
{ comments.map((comment) => (
<p key={comment.id}>{comment.text}</p>
)) }
</div>
<input type="text" value={text} onChange = {
(e) => setText(e.target.value)
} onKeyDown={
handelKeyDown
}/>
</div>
</div>
);
}
const mapDispatchToProps = dispatch => ({
addComment: commentData => dispatch(addComment(commentData))
})
export default connect(null, mapDispatchToProps) (PhotoDetail);
here's the action
export const addComment = (commentData) => {
console.log('test')
return {
type:"ADDCOMMENT",
payload: commentData
};
};
and here's the Reducer
case "ADDCOMMENT":
const idx = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10000) + 1;
const { text, photo_id } = action.payload;
const newComment = {idx, text}
return { ...state, photos:[state.photos.map((image) =>
image.id === photo_id ? image.comment.push(newComment) && image : image),] }
the console
the console
find will return undefined in case nothing matches the required condition.
So, looks like item.id === Number(photo_id) is probably not resolving to true for any photo in photos.
Then, you are trying to access comment on undefined, that's why there's a TypeError.
In action payload photo_id has string type and in reducer you have added === check but image.id holds number type.
Added, a comment in below code for your better understanding.
case "ADDCOMMENT":
const idx = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10000) + 1;
const { text, photo_id } = action.payload;
const newComment = {idx, text}
return { ...state, photos:[state.photos.map((image) =>
// HERE below condition fails always bcz of strict type check, to photo_id
//- either add Number convertion or in payload itself send string type
image.id === photo_id ? image.comment.push(newComment) && image : image),] }
thank you guys your answers were very helpful but I change the logic
I already have the photo I didn't need to map throw the photos so I just add the comment to the photo and return the state and it works!
case "ADDCOMMENT":
const idx = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10000) + 1;
const { text, photo } = action.payload;
console.log('the photo from reducer', photo)
const newComment = {idx, text};
photo.comment.push(newComment) // adding the comment to the photo
// return { ...state, photos:[state.photos.map((image) =>
// Number(image.id) === Number(photo.id) ? image.comment.push(newComment) && image : image),] }
return state;

How to Implement Infinite Scroll in Next JS SSG?

I created a markdown blog by following the Next Js documentation and Using Typescript. To Fetch a list of blog posts I used getStaticProps as the docs suggested. I tried with some npm packages, it's not working, or maybe I didn't know how to set up perfectly.
If there is a good plugin or custom hooks, Please tell me how can I add the infinite scroll feature in Next Js static site generation.
Project source code is available in this GitHub repository: https://github.com/vercel/next-learn-starter/blob/master/typescript-final/pages/index.tsx
I did some research and created my own react hooks to implement infinite scroll in Next JS. So, I am answering my question.
If anyone has a better method, please don't forget to share it here.
I found two working methods. First One done by using innerHeight, scrollTop, offsetHeight values. It worked perfectly, but somehow I felt this is not the correct way to do that. Please correct me if I am wrong.
The second method was to asynchronously observe changes in the intersection of a target element by Intersection Observer API. First, I created a pagination custom react hook to limit my blog posts then I used IntersectionObserver to fetch the blog posts of the next pages.
usePagination.tsx:
import { useState } from "react";
function usePagination(data, itemsPerPage: number) {
const [currentPage, setCurrentPage] = useState(1);
const maxPage = Math.ceil(data.length / itemsPerPage);
function currentData() {
const begin = (currentPage - 1) * itemsPerPage;
const end = begin + itemsPerPage;
return data.slice(null, end);
}
function next() {
setCurrentPage((currentPage) => Math.min(currentPage + 1, maxPage));
}
return { next, currentData, currentPage, maxPage };
}
export default usePagination;
Index.tsx:
import { GetStaticProps } from "next";
import { getSortedPostsData } from "../lib/posts";
import Layout from "../components/layout";
import usePagination from "../lib/Hooks/usePagination";
import { useRef, useState, useEffect } from "react";
export default function Home({
allPostsData,
}: {
allPostsData: {
id: string;
title: string;
date: string;
cover: string;
}[];
}) {
const { next, currentPage, currentData, maxPage } = usePagination(
allPostsData,
8
);
const currentPosts = currentData();
const [element, setElement] = useState(null);
const observer = useRef<IntersectionObserver>();
const prevY = useRef(0);
useEffect(() => {
observer.current = new IntersectionObserver(
(entries) => {
const firstEntry = entries[0];
const y = firstEntry.boundingClientRect.y;
if (prevY.current > y) {
next();
}
prevY.current = y;
},
{ threshold: 0.5 }
);
}, []);
useEffect(() => {
const currentElement = element;
const currentObserver = observer.current;
if (currentElement) {
currentObserver.observe(currentElement);
}
return () => {
if (currentElement) {
currentObserver.unobserve(currentElement);
}
};
}, [element]);
return (
<Layout>
<article className="w-full mt-12 flex flex-wrap items-center justify-center">
{currentPosts &&
currentPosts.map(({ id, title, date, cover }) => (
<div key={id} // ......
</div>
))}
</article>
{currentPage !== maxPage ? (
<h1 ref={setElement}>Loading Posts...</h1>
) : (
<h1>No more posts available...</h1>
)}
</Layout>
);
}
export const getStaticProps: GetStaticProps = async () => {
const allPostsData = getSortedPostsData();
return {
props: {
allPostsData,
},
};
};

Issue in react component

I have a problem in the following component, it seems that the component doesn't render and I get the following error in console: "Cannot read property 'operationalHours' of null". I don't get why operationalHours it's null.. maybe someone can help me with a posible solution for this issue.
Here is the component:
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import Search from 'client/components/ui/Search';
import { performSearchById } from 'client/actions/api/search';
import { get } from 'lodash';
import {
SEARCH_STORE_NOT_CLOSED,
SEARCH_STORE_OPEN_TEXT,
SEARCH_STORE_CLOSED_TEXT
} from 'app/client/constants/values';
import DownArrow from 'components/UI/icons/DownArrow';
import styles from './styles.module.scss';
const StoreDetails = ({ storeInfo }) => {
const [expanded, setIsExpanded] = useState(false);
const [storeData, setStoreData] = useState(null);
useEffect(() => {
async function fetchData() {
const storeId = storeInfo.store_id;
const {
data: {
Location: {
contactDetails: { phone },
operationalHours
}
}
} = await performSearchById(storeId);
setStoreData({ phone, operationalHours });
}
fetchData();
}, [storeInfo.store_id]);
const infoText = expanded ? 'Hide details' : 'View details';
function parseHours(hours) {
const formattedHours = {};
hours.forEach(dayObj => {
const closed = get(dayObj, 'closed', '');
const day = get(dayObj, 'day', '');
if (closed === SEARCH_STORE_NOT_CLOSED) {
const openTime = get(dayObj, 'openTime', '');
const closeTime = get(dayObj, 'closeTime', '');
if (openTime === null || closeTime === null) {
formattedHours[day] = SEARCH_STORE_OPEN_TEXT;
} else {
formattedHours[day] = `${openTime}-${closeTime}`;
}
} else {
formattedHours[day] = SEARCH_STORE_CLOSED_TEXT;
}
});
return formattedHours;
}
const storeHours = storeData.operationalHours
? parseStoreHours(storeData.operationalHours)
: '';
return (
<div className={styles.viewStoreDetails}>
<span
className={expanded ? styles.expanded : undefined}
onClick={() => setIsExpanded(!expanded)}
>
<DownArrow />
</span>
<div>
<span className={styles.viewStoreDetailsLabel}>{infoText}</span>
<div>
{expanded && (
<Search
phoneNumber={storeData.phone}
storeHours={storeHours}
/>
)}
</div>
</div>
</div>
);
};
export default StoreDetails;
Its because you're setting the values of storeData after the component has already rendered the first time. Your default value for storeData is null.
It breaks here: storeData.operationalHours because null isn't an object and therefore cannot have properties to access on it.
You should probably just set your initial state to something more representative of your actual state:
const [storeData, setStoreData] = useState({}); // Or even add keys to the object.
Also read here about the useEffect hook and when it runs. It seems that the underlying issue is misunderstanding when your data will be populated.
You are getting error at this line :
const storeHours = storeData.operationalHours ?
parseStoreHours(storeData.operationalHours): '';
Reason : You initialised storeData as Null and you are trying to access operationalHours key from Null value.
Correct Way is :
Option 1: Initialise storeData as blank object
const [storeData, setStoreData] = useState({});
Option 2:
const storeHours =storeData && storeData.operationalHours ?
parseStoreHours(storeData.operationalHours): '';
It's happen because in 1st moment of your application, storeData is null, and null don't have properties, try add a empty object as first value ({}) or access a value like that:
Correct method:
const object = null;
console.log(object?.myProperty);
// output: undefined
Wrong method:
const object = null;
console.log(object.myProperty);
// Generate a error
The Question Mark(?) is a method to hidden or ignore if the variable are a non-object, to decrease verbosity in the code with logic blocks try and catch, in Correct method code there will be no mistake, but in Wrong method code, there will have a mistake.
