Query: How can NextJS use client cannot access <Component> before initialization in TypeScript
Problem
I have what I consider to be a fairly straightforward use case in Nextjs, that is, a NavigationBar component with a search input.
However, I recently added a use client; to the top of it in preparation to make it stateful. Immediately it began to throw ReferenceError: Cannot access 'NavigationBar' before initialization.
Using the process of elimination I found the culprit to be <SearchBar />, which was stateful and had use client; in it. If I removed SearchBar, it would render.
I am wondering what within SearchBar was causing this issue, so again I removed everything to try to get it not to error. I removed the use client;, removed all logic, and replaced the return with a simple <div />. It still throws the error.
Updated SearchBar component:
At this point it is completely unclear to me what could be causing this issue. I assume there is something related to hydration, perhaps HTML semantics, but it is not clear what or how to debug this.
There is also a runtime stack trace:
Solution
SearchBar.js
In NavigationBar.js
Could you try doing it this way? You seem to have a problem creating and importing. Try "export default SearchBar" and see if your import is correct. I would appreciate it if you let me know if it works or not.
