Document is not defined - Angular 17

[BugProg]

Hi !

I just updated my project to Angular 17, and I'm using modern compilation method with Vite.
I have an issue with TypeIt, I get the following error: ERROR ReferenceError: document is not defined during the compilation.

NOTE
In spite of this error, the code seems to work perfectly in the browser.

It is happening due to SSR.
Use globalThis to fix.
I have done it for the error: ERROR ReferenceError: window is not defined.
For example: Use globalThis.window?.innerWidth instead of window.innerWidth.
I hope this helps.

Hi @Rounaque-Noor !

Thank you for your message ! I don't understand your fix.

This is my code, where I should insert your code ?

new (TypeIt as any)("#typeIt", {
  speed: 100,
  loop: true
})
  .type("Site-Web", {delay: 2000})
  .delete(() => {
  }, {delay: 1000, instant: false})
  .type("App  Mobile", {delay: 2000})
  .delete(() => {
  }, {delay: 1000})
  .type("Cloud", {delay: 2000})
  .delete(() => {
  }, {delay: 1000})
  .go();

Thank you.

Hi @GeronimoSerial !
No, sorry, I didn't fix it yet.😢

Hi @GeronimoSerial,

The code below seems to work without errors:

import { isPlatformBrowser } from '@angular/common';

...

private isBrowser: boolean;

constructor(
 @Inject(PLATFORM_ID) platformId: Object) {
 this.isBrowser = isPlatformBrowser(platformId);
}

...

if (this.isBrowser) {
    new (TypeIt as any)("#typeIt", {
      speed: 100,
      loop: true
    })
      .type("CCC", {delay: 2000})
      .delete(() => {
      }, {delay: 1000, instant: false})
      .type("BBB", {delay: 2000})
      .delete(() => {
      }, {delay: 1000})
      .type("AAA", {delay: 2000})
      .delete(() => {
      }, {delay: 1000})
      .go();
}
