FAQPage Schema

Why do Next.js client components throw node:module errors when importing Prisma types?▼

Next.js client components throw node:module errors because importing from @prisma/client bundles Node.js dependencies into the browser. You must separate server and client type files or import browser-safe enums to keep the client bundle node-free.

How do I fix Prisma type import issues in Next.js 14 client components?▼

Fix Prisma type import issues in Next.js 14 client components by separating server and client type files or using browser-safe enums. This prevents generated Prisma client code from breaking browser builds with Turbopack or webpack.

Can I use Prisma enums directly in Next.js client components?▼

Yes, you can use Prisma enums in Next.js client components by importing browser-safe enums. This ensures type safety across your Next.js app without introducing Node.js modules into the client bundle.

Does this approach work for both Turbopack and webpack in Next.js?▼

Yes, this approach works for both Turbopack and webpack in Next.js 14+ projects. Separating server and client type files ensures the client bundle remains node-free regardless of your chosen bundler.

What is the best way to make Prisma types browser-safe for Next.js?▼

The best way to make Prisma types browser-safe for Next.js is separating server and client type files or importing browser-safe enums. This ensures the client bundle remains node-free and prevents bundling errors.

When do I need to separate server and client types for Prisma in Next.js?▼

You need to separate server and client types for Prisma in Next.js when a client component imports from @prisma/client and the error mentions Client Component Browser. This indicates Node.js code is leaking into the browser bundle.
