Server Error ReferenceError: window is not defined

Hi, I'm developing an application in next.js (typescript) that uses powerbi-client-react to render powerbi dashboards in the application.

In a simple react application I can do what I want but would like to do it in next.js.

Here's the error and code:

Server Error ReferenceError: window is not defined This error happened while generating the page. Any console logs will be displayed in the terminal window.

HI @Nexxo,

I'd like to suggest you take a look at the following link that includes usage sample with power bi embedded content and 'nextjs' if it helps:
nextjs-powerbi - npm (npmjs.com)

Spoiler
import React, { Component } from "react";
import PowerbiEmbedded from "nextjs-powerbi";

class App extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div className="App">
        <PowerbiEmbedded
          id={`${YOUR_REPORT_ID}`} // required
          embedUrl={`${YOUR_EMBED_URL}`} // required
          accessToken={`${YOUR_EMBED_TOKEN}`} // required
          filterPaneEnabled={false}
          navContentPaneEnabled={false}
          pageName={`${YOUR_PAGE_ID}`}
          embedType={`${EMBED_TYPE}`}
          tokenType={`${TOKEN_TYPE}`}
          permissions={`${PERMISSIONS}`}
          settings={
            {
              // any settings including localeSettings
            }
          }
          width="600px"
          height="900px"
        />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default App;
