Use tw elements in a NextJS project - next.js

Question

I'm trying to use tw-elements in a nodejs project. If I follow their documentation and just import tw-elements in my _app, I get this error:
ReferenceError: document is not defined
I found a stackoverflow response that said to put this at the start of the index.min.js file of tw-elements:
if (typeof window == "undefined")return;
I did and the error disappeared, but the library still won't work. Any ideas?

Answer 1

First, add Tailwind Elements using these NPM steps here.
Here is how to get it to work with Nextjs:
First step is to add this code to your _app.js file:
useEffect(() => {
const use = async () => {
(await import('tw-elements')).default;
};
use();
}, []);
Like this for example:
export default function App({ Component, pageProps }) {
useEffect(() => {
const use = async () => {
(await import('tw-elements')).default;
};
use();
}, []);
return (
Make sure you add import { useEffect } from "react"; to the top of _app.js.
It’s also important that you’re not importing Tailwind Elements anywhere else expect for the _app.js file.
Tailwind Elements should now be working!

I was facing the same issue. I followed Tyrell Curry's answer but It encountered type not found error because I was using typescript.
Unfortunately the type definitions were missing for tailwind-elements library.
I made a little change it the function so that type check have to be avoided by using as any.
useEffect(() => {
const use = async () => {
(await import("tw-elements" as any)).default;
};
use();
}, []);
