Prop id did not match. server react-select

by

The “prop id did not match” error typically occurs when using the react-select library in a server-rendered environment (like Next.js or Gatsby) where the React components are compiled on the server before being sent to the client.

This error happens because React assigns a unique ID to each component instance when rendering them on the server. When the client receives the server-rendered component and re-renders it on the browser, React tries to match the server-generated IDs with the client-generated IDs. If they don’t match, React throws the “prop id did not match” error as a precautionary measure to prevent potential issues caused by inconsistencies.

To avoid this error, you can follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you’re using the same version of React and react-select library on the server and client. Using different versions can cause ID mismatches.
  2. If you’re using any server-rendering framework like Next.js or Gatsby, ensure that the server-rendering process and the client-rendering process both use the same rendering mechanism (e.g., both using server-side rendering or both using client-side rendering). Mixing server-side and client-side rendering can cause ID mismatches.
  3. If the above steps don’t solve the issue, you can try forcing the re-generation of IDs on the client. To do this, you can control the generation of IDs by providing key props explicitly to the react-select components and making sure the key value is unique for each component instance. For instance:

            {`import Select from 'react-select';

const options = [
  { value: 'apple', label: 'Apple' },
  { value: 'banana', label: 'Banana' },
  { value: 'orange', label: 'Orange' }
];

function MyComponent() {
