NextUI Input File: A Bug & Workaround

NextUI is a fantastic library for building beautiful and functional user interfaces, but even the best tools can have hiccups. One such issue currently affects its Input component when used with the type="file" attribute. This post will delve into the problem, explain why it occurs, and offer a safe workaround until the issue is officially resolved. The Bug: Double Clicks and Undefined Files The issue manifests as follows: Clicking to Choose a File: When you first click the file input, the selected file appears to be "undefined" in the console. Second Attempt: Only after clicking the file selection dialog again does the selected file actually register and become available. This behavior is inconsistent and frustrating, especially when you expect the input to behave like a standard HTML <input type="file"> element. Root Cause: Empty String as Default Value The bug stems from how NextUI's Input component handles its default value. It assum

The 29 Next.js Mistakes Beginners Make (and How to Fix Them)

Next.js, with its powerful features like server components, server actions, and dynamic routing, has revolutionized web development. However, this power comes with a new learning curve, and beginners often stumble upon some common pitfalls. In this blog post, we'll explore 29 common Next.js mistakes that beginners make and provide explanations and solutions to help you avoid them. 1. Misusing the useClient Directive The useClient directive is crucial for marking components that need to run in the browser. However, placing it too high up in the component tree can lead to unintended consequences. Imagine you have a page component importing two subcomponents, one of which needs to be a client component. Placing useClient at the top of the page component will make all imported components client components, even if they don't require browser-side execution. This can lead to unnecessary code being shipped to the client, impacting performance. Solution: Add useClient directly to the
