Rendering Google Maps on Server Side










0















I have a npm package that exports a class for a google map (based on this article: http://cuneyt.aliustaoglu.biz/en/using-google-maps-in-react-without-custom-libraries/). When I import this package to a server-rendering react app, I get this error that window is not defined. I believe this is happening b/c window doesn't exist in node. However, I only reference window in componentDidMount lifecycle hook in the map pkg and I believe the server-side doesn't render that lifecycle hook.



What's the best way to render the map component on the server-side?
