window is not defined in 1.5.0

[ahoys]

All of our testing environments broke down because of the recent changes.
This is the error that appears on launch:

    at Object.<anonymous> (/opt/webui/node_modules/html-to-draftjs/dist/html-to-draftjs.js:1:335)
    at Module._compile (module.js:570:32)

    at Function.Module._load (module.js:438:3)
    at Module.require (module.js:497:17)
    at require (internal/module.js:20:19)

The issue can be resolved by returning to version 1.4.0.

@ahoys : error is not clear from above stack, can you plz add more details.

Here's a snippet of the dist-code that is causing the crash:

c:\git\*****\dist\node_modules\html-to-draftjs\dist\html-to-draftjs.js:1 
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) 
{ !function(e,t){"object"==typeof exports&&"object"==typeof module?
module.exports=t(require("immutable"),require("draft-js")):"function"==typeof define&&define.amd?
define(["immutable","draft-js"],t):"object"==typeof exports?
exports.htmlToDraftjs=t(require("immutable"),require("draft-
js")):e.htmlToDraftjs=t(e.immutable,e["draft-js"])}(window,function(n,r){return o={},i.m=a=[function(e,t)
{e.exports=n},function(e,t){e.exports=r},function(e,t,n){e.exports=n(3)},function(e,t,n){"use 
strict";n.r(t);var v=n(1),u=n(0),s=function(e){var t,n=null;return 
document.implementation&&document.implementation.createHTMLDocument&&
((t=document.implementation.createHTMLDocument("foo")).documentElement.innerHTML=e,n=t.get
ElementsByTagName("body")[0]),n},x=function(e,t,n){var r,i=e.textContent;return""===i.trim()?{chunk:
(r=n,{text:" ",inlines:[new u.OrderedSet],entities:[r],blocks:[]})}:{chun

This is how we use the package: const blocksFromHTML = htmlToDraft(value);, value being a string, but it actually crashes well before the package is even used, in compilation when the App is started.

Our app is isomorphic (SSR) which is probably related as the server doesn't have a window object.

Here are our other draft-js related versions, although I'm not sure how could these interfere html-to-draftjs:

    "draft-js": "0.10.5",
    "draft-js-export-html": "1.4.1",
    "draft-js-plugins-editor": "2.1.1",
    "draft-js-utils": "1.4.0",

And I'd like to emphasize that no changes were made to our code before the crash. Our testing environments simply updated the package to 1.5.0

If I'd have to guess, some of the updated dependencies in the new version caused this.

Downgrading to 1.4 is a temporary fix for those wondering

[Fi1osof]

SSR mode broken.

[jpuri]

This lib requires document object check.

That is how it always worked, as I upgraded webpack its breaking the build. I am not sure how this worked with SSR previously.

[sebastianoblom]

Having the same problem.
Had to set explicit version for react-draft-wysiwyg as well.

[caobaloc12]

I have a same issue. Any solutions for this issue so far?

Solutions include:

• render the wysiwyg only in environments with access to window
• downgrade to 1.4.0 as noted in the parent comment

If you are using Next.js you can import it like this:

import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'
const htmlToDraft = dynamic(() => import('html-to-draftjs'), { ssr: false })

[mattpetters]

dynamic(() => import('html-to-draftjs'), { ssr: false })

Hat tips to you sir!

Update: not working for me in TS with next.js :(

Removing node_modules and setting package.json to:

    "html-to-draftjs": "1.4.0",

Was the only thing that worked for me

[igunultas]

"html-to-draftjs": "1.4.0",
is only way to go for NEXT.JS with typescript

you should also import normally not dynamic.

Yup, but in this case it fails with the current react-draft-wysiwyg's version (1.14.7) which has html-to-draftjs version as a dependency.

Since downgrading to 1.4.0 causes version incompatibilities I found this to be the only option working for me with Next.js and ts
const htmlToDraft = typeof window === 'object' && require('html-to-draftjs').default;

Thanks!
