I'm building a isomorphic application, but I'm using a third-party component that only renders on the client. So, particularly for this component, I need to only render it when I'm rendering in the client.
How do I detect if I'm at the client or at the server? I'm looking for something like isClient() or isServer().

Reset to default 54Internally, React uses a utility called ExecutionEnvironment for this. It implements a few useful properties like canUseDOM and canUseEventListeners. The solution is essentially just what's suggested here though.
The implementation of canUseDOM
var canUseDOM = !!(
(typeof window !== 'undefined' &&
window.document && window.document.createElement)
);
I use this in my application like this
var ExecutionEnvironment = require('react/node_modules/fbjs/lib/ExecutionEnvironment');
...
render() {
<div>{ ExecutionEnvironment.canUseDOM ? this.renderMyComponent() : null }</div>
}
EDIT This is an undocumented feature that shouldn't be used directly. Its location will likely change from version to version. I shared this as a way of saying "this is the best you can do" by showing what the Facebook team uses internally. You may want to copy this code (it's tiny) into your own project, so you don't have to worry about keeping up with its location from version to version or potential breaking changes.
ANOTHER EDIT Someone created an npm package for this code. I suggest using that.
npm install exenv --save
You can use reacts lifecyle events (e.g.: componentDidMount) to detect server/client side rendering.
Examples
As Hook
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react'
function useIsServer () {
const [isServer, setIsServer] = useState(true)
useEffect(() => {
setIsServer(false)
}, [])
return isServer
}
Usage
See below (Functional Component)
As Functional Component
import useIsServer from './above'
function ServerOnly ({ children = null, onClient = null }) {
const isServer = useIsServer()
return isServer
? children
: onClient
}
Usage
<ServerOnly
children='This String was rendered on the server'
onClient='This String was rendered on the client'
/>
As Class Component
class ServerOnly extends React.Component {
constructor (props) {
super(props)
this.state = {
isServer: true
}
}
componentDidMount() {
this.setState({
isServer: false
})
}
render () {
const { isServer } = this.state
const { children, onClient } = this.props
return isServer
? children
: onClient
}
}
Usage
<ServerOnly
children='This String was rendered on the server'
onClient='This String was rendered on the client'
/>
Two things that may be relevant:
Many projects use some convention where they set a global SERVER or CLIENT boolean so all your code can switch based off it. In your server bundle, set some global, like in this project
global.__SERVER__ = true;
And in your client bundle, set some global client to true, which you can achieve one way with Webpack's DefinePlugin
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
__CLIENT__: true
})
With the above approach, you could switch based off that variable in willMount, or render, to do one thing on the server, and another on the client.
The second thing that may be helpful here is componentDidMount only runs on the client, but not on the server.
You can also use componentDidMount(), as this lifecycle method is not run when the page is server-side rendered.
You could also just use the use-ssr React hook
import useSSR from 'use-ssr'
const App = () => {
var { isBrowser, isServer } = useSSR()
// Want array destructuring? You can do that too!
var [isBrowser, isServer] = useSSR()
/*
* In your browser's chrome devtools console you should see
* > IS BROWSER:
