Hi there,

 

Just a few questions, for you:

  • Did you install the DropboxSign API using npm?
  • Are you using a front-end library, such as React? 
  • Are you using a framework such as Vue or NextJS?

Hi, 

 

to answer your questions.
1) I am using npm 9.6.7
2) I'm triggering this code from an api route in Next.js.

3) I'm using Next.js 13.4.19

FYI: I got the same behavior using node 20 as 18.

    Hello,

     

    The reason you are seeing that error is because the Dropbox Sign Node SDK uses Node.js specific modules, or modules that are not available on the client side.

     

    You can address that issue by looking into NextJS' getStaticProps, getStaticPaths or getServerSideProps functions.

    Hope this helps!

      this doesn't solve the problem--i'm hitting the exact same issue & i've reviewed all the referenced documentation. is there possibly an issue with the package itself?

        Hi,

         

        We have not received any reported issues from developers who have been using the Node SDK since its official release.

         

        You can reach out to our support team with more details, including code snippets, for your integration to see if we can figure out where the error is coming from.
