Identification of Issue and Potential Solution for powerbi-javascript Package

I recently came through an issue in embedding powerbi in my Next.JS application. It showed a Reference Error: self is not defined. I tried all possible solutions available on the web, like lazy loading and dynamic import, but none of it seemed to help.
This is because the library powerbi-client-react (npm link) has powerbi-client(npm link ) as its dependency, which uses javascript window object, which does not work quite well with NextJS apps due to server side rendering.


I've got a potential solution for the same, can someone in here help me reach out to the concerned?
