Getting this error while build on page where i'm using 'use client' so technically shouldn't it stop it from prerendering it and render it at client side?

Hey but the deployContract isn't a react function! So it isnt working as intended

i don't do web3, i don't know about the specifics of your code, but this is the cause for that

client components are prerendered on the server
