Remix: ways around window undefined Sep 13, 2022

Show notes

Whilst using remix I realized even after naming a file .client.ts and importing it into the remix page, it does not affect how remix generates html on the server. As an SSR framework it always generates the html on the server and so accessing the window becomes undefined. The solution to that is to run the code in useEffect. I was wondering if there are ways around that instead of having to throw in a bunch of useEffect to solve that. Next.JS has next/dynamic import which can be used and also by setting { ssr: false } , I don't have to worry about window being undefined.

Thanks

Mantine's callback with Remix's ActionFunction Aug 30, 2022

Show notes

I'm using Remix to create an app that displays a list of images, similar to a gallery. I am using Cloudinary for storage and Mantine for UI. Since I am using Mantine's DropZones control, it has an onDrop callback to handle dropped files, how could I direct it to Remix's ActionFunction to handle the dropped files since it's not a form, thus there's no post.
