I ma having an issue in the dashboard page:
when removing the sidebar component.. it is working normally
"use client"
import AQIGauge from "@/components/AQIGauge";
import { AQIData } from "@/types/types";
import React from 'react';
import Sidebar from '@/components/Sidebar';
import NavItem from '@/components/NavItem';
import { FaHome, FaUserAlt, FaCog } from 'react-icons/fa';
import {Box} from "@chakra-ui/react";
const Dashboard: React.FC = () => {
const aqiData: AQIData = {
aqi: 75,
category: "Moderate",
mainPollutant: "Ozone",
timestamp: "2024-11-14T10:00:00",
forecast: {
today: "Good",
tomorrow: "Moderate",
},
};
const status = "Moderate";
return (
<Box className="flex">
<Sidebar>
<NavItem icon={FaHome} label="Home" key="home" />
<NavItem icon={FaUserAlt} label="Profile" key="profile" />
<NavItem icon={FaCog} label="Settings" key="settings" />
</Sidebar>
<div className="flex-1 p-4">
<AQIGauge data={aqiData} status={status} />
</div>
</Box>
);
};
export default Dashboard;when removing the sidebar component.. it is working normally

<>
<NavItem icon={FaHome} label="Home" key="home" />
<NavItem icon={FaUserAlt} label="Profile" key="profile" />
<NavItem icon={FaCog} label="Settings" key="settings" />
</>
</Sidebar>try this out @Asian black bear
I am more concerned why is sidebar inside a box, which is imported from chakra
aha It must be. I thought that error comes from his own Sidebar component as I am not familiar with Chakra
<Box className="flex">
<>
<Sidebar>
<NavItem icon={FaHome} label="Home" key="home" />
<NavItem icon={FaUserAlt} label="Profile" key="profile" />
<NavItem icon={FaCog} label="Settings" key="settings" />
</Sidebar>
<div className="flex-1 p-4">
<AQIGauge data={aqiData} status={status} />
</div>
</>
</Box>won't this work then? 😓
no, box supports multiple children
then where is the error coming from?
@James4u tsx
<Sidebar>
<>
<NavItem icon={FaHome} label="Home" key="home" />
<NavItem icon={FaUserAlt} label="Profile" key="profile" />
<NavItem icon={FaCog} label="Settings" key="settings" />
</>
</Sidebar>
not really sure, maybe this is the answer since that's the only thing in the code having multiple children
right @Asian black bear check your sidebar component and change the interface
React.Children not React.Children.only
he prolly using something inside the sidebar where he is having multiple children
@James4u then where is the error coming from?
99% due to this
which can not be fixed by simply wrapping it inside
the problem is likely not in the code OP provided.
<SomeRadixUIComponent asChild>
<Something />
<SomethingElse />
</SomeRadixUIComponent>which can not be fixed by simply wrapping it inside
<>. wrapping components inside <> does nothing.the problem is likely not in the code OP provided.
