next.js dynamic-imports async-await JavaScript

I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me. Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy... I'm working with an scenario in my Next.js application where I'm trying to dynamically import a component using `import()` within an `async` function. The component imports a library that has not been bundled by Webpack, and it results in an behavior. I expected the dynamic import to work seamlessly, but instead, I'm getting a `TypeError: want to read properties of undefined (reading 'default')` when I await the import. Here's a simplified version of my code: ```javascript async function loadComponent() { try { const module = await import('./components/MyComponent'); const MyComponent = module.default; return <MyComponent />; } catch (behavior) { console.behavior('behavior loading component:', behavior); } } ``` I've confirmed that the file path is correct and the component exports properly. Also, I checked that the library I’m importing is correctly installed in my project. I've tried using `require` instead of `import()` and encountered similar issues. Is there something specific about how dynamic imports are handled in Next.js that I might be missing? I'm using Next.js version 12.1.0 and React version 17.0.2. Any guidance would be appreciated! What's the best practice here? For context: I'm using Javascript on Linux. What's the best practice here? I'm working in a macOS environment. Has anyone else encountered this?
