Error while using flowbite with nextJS and typescript

Viewed 2879

I installed tailwind and flowbite to a NextJS project. As I did import "flowbite" in _app.tsx, I get the following error.

document is not defined gives a clue that javascript is creating problems. Please help with this. In my tsconfig.json allowJS:true is set then why is this creating problems?

from the docs, Flowbite is currently working on a standalone library for compatibility with React frameworks such as NextJS check here

if you are using remix js just add import 'flowbite' in entry.client.tsx file
