I am working on a Next.js project, but I keep encountering a hydration error. The specific error message I saw was:
Error: Hydration failed because the initial UI does not match what is rendered when rendered on the server side.
Warning: Expecting server HTML to contain matching <div>.
I understand this may be due to a mismatch between the server-side rendering (SSR) HTML and the HTML generated by React during hydration on the client side. Warning: A <div> tag was expected in the server-rendered HTML, but was not found.
import React from 'react'; import styled from 'styled-components'; import { FaIcon1 as Icon1, FaIcon2 as Icon2, FaIcon3 as Icon3, FaIcon4 as Icon4 } from 'react-icons/fa'; import Link from 'next/link'; const Container = styled.div` display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: center; align-items: center; height: 100vh; background: #ffffff; `; const ListItemContainer = styled.div` display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; justify-content: space-between; width: 70%; overflow-y: auto; @media (min-width: 768px) { flex-direction: row; } `; const ListItem = styled.div` display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: center; align-items: center; padding: 10px; margin: 10px 10px; font-size: 1.8em; border: 1px solid #299d51; border-radius: 5px; cursor: pointer; color: #14080e; transition: background 0.3s; width: 50vw; min-height: 20vh; text-align: center; &:hover { background: #4cb16b; } @media (min-width: 768px) { width: 20vw; } svg { color: #00722e; margin-bottom: 20px; } `; const Home: React.FC = () => { return (); }; export default Home; Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 4
How to fix this error in NextJS 13?
The problem is caused by the components of Next.js. I fixed it by replacing the component with a standard <a> tag:
This will force a full page refresh when the link is clicked, instead of enabling client-side navigation like this component. Please note that this is a workaround and may impact performance due to page reloads.
