## Prevent Hydration Mismatch Without Flickering
|
|
|
|
When rendering content that depends on client-side storage (localStorage, cookies), avoid both SSR breakage and post-hydration flickering by injecting a synchronous script that updates the DOM before React hydrates.
|
|
|
|
**Incorrect (breaks SSR):**
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
function ThemeWrapper({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
|
|
// localStorage is not available on server - throws error
|
|
const theme = localStorage.getItem('theme') || 'light'
|
|
|
|
return (
|
|
<div className={theme}>
|
|
{children}
|
|
</div>
|
|
)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Server-side rendering will fail because `localStorage` is undefined.
|
|
|
|
**Incorrect (visual flickering):**
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
function ThemeWrapper({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
|
|
const [theme, setTheme] = useState('light')
|
|
|
|
useEffect(() => {
|
|
// Runs after hydration - causes visible flash
|
|
const stored = localStorage.getItem('theme')
|
|
if (stored) {
|
|
setTheme(stored)
|
|
}
|
|
}, [])
|
|
|
|
return (
|
|
<div className={theme}>
|
|
{children}
|
|
</div>
|
|
)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Component first renders with default value (`light`), then updates after hydration, causing a visible flash of incorrect content.
|
|
|
|
**Correct (no flicker, no hydration mismatch):**
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
function ThemeWrapper({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
|
|
return (
|
|
<>
|
|
<div id="theme-wrapper">
|
|
{children}
|
|
</div>
|
|
<script
|
|
dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
|
|
__html: `
|
|
(function() {
|
|
try {
|
|
var theme = localStorage.getItem('theme') || 'light';
|
|
var el = document.getElementById('theme-wrapper');
|
|
if (el) el.className = theme;
|
|
} catch (e) {}
|
|
})();
|
|
`,
|
|
}}
|
|
/>
|
|
</>
|
|
)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The inline script executes synchronously before showing the element, ensuring the DOM already has the correct value. No flickering, no hydration mismatch.
|
|
|
|
This pattern is especially useful for theme toggles, user preferences, authentication states, and any client-only data that should render immediately without flashing default values.
