ionic-framework: bug: Ionic component styles do not apply in Next.js application

Prerequisites

• I have read the Contributing Guidelines.
• I agree to follow the Code of Conduct.
• I have searched for existing issues that already report this problem, without success.

Ionic Framework Version

• v4.x
• v5.x
• v6.x

Current Behavior

SSR/SSG of Nextjs do not work with ionic/react: “^6.0.0”. The version worked well with ionic/react 5. I have reached out to ionic community in discord and was suggested creating the issue. The styles do not apply the behaviour is odd when we use SSR or SSG. It works well on client side though.

Expected Behavior

I expect the code to work similar as it worked on version 5.9.3. All the styles do apply there.

Steps to Reproduce

1. git clone https://github.com/MarianDabrowski/next-app
2. cd next-app
3. npm i
4. npm run dev

Additional Information

Based on the discussion with @sean-perkins I believe Sean is right saying: “…custom elements should workin SSR/SSG, so the fact that it isn’t, is a little concerning. The root issue is likely Stencil, if the styles are not being applied, but I would recommend creating a ticket in ionic-framework, since the UI kit should support Next.js.”

_app.tsx is rendered before each page render As i understand setupIonicReact shall be called at the initial stage.

Altering pages/index.tsx to

const Home: NextPage = () => {
  const [component, setComponent] = useState(<div>I Am a placeholder</div>);

  useEffect(() => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      setComponent(<App />);
    }, 3000);
  });
  return component;
};

makes the code work properly
