Hi,

 

We have not received any reported issues from developers who have been using the Node SDK since its official release.

 

You can reach out to our support team with more details, including code snippets, for your integration to see if we can figure out where the error is coming from.

    Hi there. I've created an example repo for anyone using Next.js + the Sign Node SDK: https://github.com/hellosign/nextjs-blog

     

    The trick is next.config.js must ignore fs and axios on client-side rendering.

    Make sure to invoke the SDK package only within getStaticProps or getServerSideProps functions.

     

    Unfortunately per my response in this GitHub issue I don't know Next.js well enough to figure out how to make the above work when using its App Router - so the solution will only apply if you are not using it.

      Have your team created an issue for Next.js that I can follow?

       

      Thanks for the workaround! I think I can make it work for now but would be great to remove the workaround/hack at some point of time.

        There was an issue opened in GitHub recently, which prompted one of our engineers to create a sample repo for how Dropbox Sign SDK can be implemented using Next.js.
