00:00:01,980 --> 00:00:06,200
Now that we understand that we need to worry about this whole domain issue inside of get initial props.

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:11,520
We need to figure out whether we are inside the browser or the server when we're trying to make a request

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,180
in there so we can adjust the domain accordingly.

4
00:00:14,190 --> 00:00:15,150
So how are we gonna do that.

5
00:00:15,870 --> 00:00:20,580
Well it turns out that next J.S. used to have a really convenient function that we could use to figure

6
00:00:20,580 --> 00:00:25,320
out very easily whether we are in a browser or server environment.

7
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,170
However that little function was removed recently.

8
00:00:28,170 --> 00:00:32,400
So instead we have to rely upon a really kind of silly fallback as you can tell.

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:37,320
I'm a little bit sore that that function was removed out of Next j us but that's life so inside a get

10
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:38,160
initial props.

11
00:00:38,190 --> 00:00:42,350
Again we have to decide whether we are on the server or the browser to do so.

12
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:51,430
We're gonna write out if typeof window equals equals equals undefined window is an object that only

13
00:00:51,430 --> 00:00:56,210
exists inside the browser the window object does not exist inside of a No j ust environment.

14
00:00:56,260 --> 00:01:02,980
So if the window variable is undefined inside of well this code that is getting executed somewhere that

15
00:01:02,980 --> 00:01:06,790
must mean we are on the server.

16
00:01:06,940 --> 00:01:14,770
And so any request that we make inside of get initial prompts requests should be made to HDTV and then

17
00:01:14,770 --> 00:01:21,250
that whole really long you are L something like What is it ingress engine X dot ingress dot or dash

18
00:01:21,250 --> 00:01:26,340
engine X blah blah blah all that other stuff we can then add on an L case.

19
00:01:26,410 --> 00:01:38,760
So if window is defined then that means we are on the browser and requests can be made to HDTV or really

20
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:44,700
we can we can say can be made with a base you are all of just empty string.

21
00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:50,880
And again we will rely upon the browser to put on the base domain or the base rule for us.

22
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:51,510
So that's it.

23
00:01:51,510 --> 00:01:54,420
That's how we're gonna decide whether we are on the server or the client.

24
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,220
So now that we've established this quick pause right here can make the next video and we're gonna finally

25
00:01:59,580 --> 00:02:00,930
finally make our request.
