                <Link href="#" legacyBehavior passHref>

                    </NavigationMenuLink>
                </Link>
            </NavigationMenuItem>
        </div>
    );
}
this was the code initially, after a reddit user suggest using the 'use client' directive at the top, i still got an error:

could you please explain how the use client directive changed things?

The navigation menu might be using context or something. I haven't used that from shadcn

never mind i tried it without use client and it still worked
