Next.js 13: Handling async data fetching in server-side props with conditional rendering
I'm currently working on a Next.js 13 application where I'm trying to fetch user data from an external API and conditionally render a component based on the availability of that data. I'm using the `getServerSideProps` function for server-side rendering, but I keep running into issues when the API returns an empty response. Instead of rendering a fallback UI, my application throws an error stating `TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'name')`. Hereโs a simplified version of my code: ```javascript // pages/users/[id].js import React from 'react'; export async function getServerSideProps(context) { const { id } = context.params; const res = await fetch(`https://api.example.com/users/${id}`); const data = await res.json(); return { props: { user: data || null } }; } const UserProfile = ({ user }) => { if (!user) { return <div>User not found</div>; } return <h1>{user.name}</h1>; }; export default UserProfile; ``` I've tried adding checks to handle cases where the user data is not found, but I still receive that TypeError when the API returns an empty object. Iโve also logged the response from the API and noticed that sometimes it's an empty object `{}` instead of `null`. Could someone help me with a more robust way to handle API responses in `getServerSideProps` to prevent this error? Also, is there a best practice for dealing with different response scenarios in Next.js? Thanks!
