ReferenceError: window is not defined (SSR support)

[Shashank-Yara]

Hi,

The source you've pushed to npm invokes window even though its not required and also not in the original source code. This prevents this library from being used in server-side rendered react projects like Gatsby.js

You might want to build the source with Webpack instead of babel directly.

ERROR #95312 

"window" is not available during server side rendering.

See our docs page for more info on this error : https://gatsby.dev/debug-html

WebpackError: ReferenceError: window is not defined
  geolocator.js:14 Object../node_modules/geolocator/dist/geolocator.js
    node_modules/geolocator/dist/geolocator.js:14:2
  

It seems you guys need to update /node_modules/geolocator/dist/geolocator.js with below check for window object.

if(typeof window !== 'undefined') {
    // the entire file contents.
}

As far as I can see, all the reference(s) to window are there to check that the environment has a global reference for the geolocator API.

In node.js backends, there supposedly is no support for the API at this point (2022-01-22), so checking that this code is only executed on browser(s) with support for the API seems like a proper precaution.

If I've misunderstood the issue, please elaborate.

@DiscoNova i think issue is about window object is not available when component is ssr(server side render).in react we have ssr components
